Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This weekly Swiss-system event welcomes players of all levels, with separate sections for masters (2000+), intermediate players (1600–1999), and those under 1600—so you'll compete against peers at your skill level. With a G/90+30 time control, you'll have time to think through your moves without the pressure of blitz, making it ideal if you prefer a more deliberate pace. At $70–$100 to enter, it's an accessible way to get competitive classical chess experience.
