Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
Whether you're a competitive master or just learning the game, there's a section for you here: Open for strong players, Under 1700 for intermediate competitors, and Under 1200 and Under 700 for newer players (with flexibility for the lowest-rated group to move up). The 4-round Swiss format with Game/40 time control gives you classical chess at a reasonable pace, all in a single day. At just $30–$40 to enter, this is an affordable way to test yourself against players at your level.
