Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day Swiss is ideal for players rated up to 2000+ who want classical chess with flexible scheduling—a two-day option with faster time controls (G/20+10) is also available for those with limited time. With six separate sections ranging from U1100 through Championship, you'll find a competitive bracket matched to your skill level. The entry fee is reasonable for a weekend tournament, and strong players get a significant incentive with free entry for titled players.
