Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
Perfect for players of all levels looking for a relaxed, month-long tournament experience, with separate sections for Open (1800+), U1800 (1200–1799), and U1200 (below 1200) players. The classical G/90+30 time control gives you plenty of thinking time for thoughtful play, and the free entry makes it an accessible way to compete without financial commitment. With five rounds spread across August, you can play at your own pace while still getting meaningful tournament games.
