Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This fast-paced tournament is ideal for players seeking a quick day of competitive chess, with a 4-round Swiss format at G/30 that keeps the action moving. The Open and U1500 sections ensure you'll find opponents at your level, while the modest entry fee ($28–$40) makes it an affordable option—and strong masters play free. If you're looking to squeeze in serious games without a multi-day commitment, this is a great fit.
