Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This four-round Swiss event welcomes players of all levels across three rated sections—Open (1800+), Under 1800, and Under 1200—with no playing up allowed, so you'll compete fairly against players in your rating range. The G/30 rapid time control keeps the pace brisk while remaining tactical, and you can request up to two half-point byes if needed. At $35–$45 to enter, it's an affordable way to earn Golden Cup points and test your skills in a single day.
