Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This three-day (or two-day) Swiss event offers something for players at multiple levels, with separate Championship, Challengers, and Reserve sections and a strong $2,000 prize fund. The classical time control of G/90+30 rewards thoughtful play, though the 2-day option accelerates the first round to G/60 if you're short on time. With entry fees as low as $50 and free admission for titled players, it's an accessible way to compete in Houston.
