Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This six-day Swiss tournament is designed for strong players rated 2000+ FIDE, with a classical time control (G/90+30) that rewards careful preparation and calculation. Entry fees are scaled by rating, ranging from $300 for IMs and WGMs to $900 for players just reaching the 2000 minimum, so check your category for exact pricing. If you're a competitive intermediate-to-advanced player looking for a substantial multi-round event against similarly strong opposition, this is a solid fit.
