Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This three-day Swiss tournament offers flexible scheduling with both 2- and 3-day options, making it accessible whether you want a weekend commitment or a shorter visit. With sections for 1800+, under-1800, and under-800 players, there's a competitive home for most skill levels, and the classical G/75+30 time control rewards thoughtful play. Entry fees are reasonable across all sections, and masters receive automatic refunds if they complete at least four games.
