Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day classical tournament welcomes players from beginner to master level across six sections, with a faster two-day option available for players U2100 and below if you prefer a shorter time commitment. The Championship section uses a substantial time control (G/110+10) for serious competition, while the under-rated sections offer a classical pace (G/100+10) or an accelerated schedule with faster games in the first three rounds. Entry fees are reasonable at $149–$180, and GMs, IMs, and WGMs compete free.
