Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This four-round tournament spread across eight weeks is ideal for players of all levels, with separate sections for masters (1600+), intermediate players (under 1600), and beginners (under 1200). The classical time control of 90 minutes per side gives you plenty of time to think through your moves, and best of all, there's no entry fee. It's a great low-pressure way to gain tournament experience or maintain your rating without financial commitment.
