Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

Perfect for young players just starting out or gaining confidence in their chess skills, this event offers four separate sections so kids can play at their own level—whether they're unrated beginners, developing players under 900, or advancing competitors. With a rapid time control and Swiss format, you'll play multiple rounds in a single day without a massive time commitment. Entry fees are accessible at $55–$65, making it an affordable way for kids in kindergarten through 6th grade (or up to 12th grade in the higher sections) to get tournament experience.
