Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This four-round Swiss event welcomes senior players of all strengths, with separate sections for competitive players and those rated under 1810, making it accessible whether you're a casual player or serious competitor. The classical time control (40 moves in 90 minutes) allows for thoughtful play without an all-day commitment, and the modest entry fee of $29–$60 is particularly attractive if you hold a master title—GMs and IMs play free.
