Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This free, four-round tournament is ideal for players across all skill levels, with separate sections for masters (1600+), intermediate players (1200–1599), and developing players (U1200). The classical time control of 90 minutes per side with a 5-second delay allows for thoughtful, strategic play rather than quick tactics. Spread across nearly a month, it's a great way to test your skills without the intensity of a single-day event.
