Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This weekend event is ideal for players rated under 1900 looking for serious classical chess competition across seven skill-based sections, from U500 all the way up to expert level. With five rounds of G/90+30 time control (or faster G/30 for the lower sections), you'll have plenty of time to think through your moves without a huge time commitment. The entry fee is very reasonable at $28–$55 depending on your section, and masters play free.
