Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This Friday night event is ideal for developing players rated under 1200 who want a quick, low-pressure evening of chess with a modest $20 entry fee. The fast time control (G/25) keeps the tournament moving while three rounds give you meaningful competitive play without a major time commitment. Each section awards at least three trophies per round, so there's a real chance to take home some hardware regardless of your rating bracket.
