Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

Whether you're a beginner working toward expert level or a master looking for competitive classical play, Tunnelvision XLVI offers a section tailored to your strength—with a low $40–$50 entry fee and a welcoming four-round format at G/45+5. The tournament accommodates near-borderline players with flexible rating options, so if you're close to a section cutoff, you can punch up and test yourself against stronger competition. This is an ideal weekend event for players 1000–2200+ seeking serious, unhurried chess without breaking the bank.
