12th Annual New York State Blitz Championship

Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This one-day, fast-paced blitz event is perfect if you want to test your quick tactical skills in a competitive but accessible format—the $35–$40 entry fee keeps it affordable, and you'll play four rounds in a single afternoon. The 3-minute time control with 2-second delay means you'll need to think on your feet, making this ideal for players who thrive under time pressure rather than those seeking lengthy classical games.
