Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This event is perfect if you're looking for a same-day tournament with options across skill levels: the Open section plays 4 rounds of classical chess (G/45), while the Under 1600 and Scholastic divisions each run 5 rounds at a faster G/25 pace. Whether you're a competitive master, an intermediate player working toward 1600, or a young scholastic just starting out, there's a section tailored for you, and the $45–$60 entry fee is a reasonable investment for a full day of rated play.
