Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This friendly monthly event welcomes players of all skill levels to compete in a single Swiss-system section with a classical time control (45 minutes plus 5-second increment), making it ideal if you prefer thoughtful games over rapid play. The modest entry fee of $20–$25 keeps the barrier to entry low, perfect for casual players looking to get regular tournament experience without breaking the bank.
