Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This three-day Swiss tournament offers flexible scheduling with both classical (40/100) and accelerated (G/60) time controls, so you can choose the pace that suits you. Three separate sections—Open, Under 2000, and Under 1400—mean you'll compete against players at your level, whether you're a master-strength player or working your way up from 600+. At just $75–$100 to enter (and free for titled players), it's an affordable way to spend a September weekend in New Jersey.
