Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This event welcomes players across a wide range of skill levels, with dedicated sections from beginner-friendly U1200 through expert-level 1900+, and offers flexible scheduling with both 2-day and 3-day options to fit your availability. The classical time control (G/90+30) suits players who prefer thoughtful, unhurried play, though the 2-day schedule uses a faster G/45+10 pace if you want a quicker tournament. At $99–$145, the entry fee is reasonable, and strong players get a bonus—GMs and IMs compete free.
