Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This four-day Swiss tournament in Memphis welcomes players across the rating spectrum with separate Open and Amateur (under 1601) sections, making it accessible whether you're a developing player or seasoned competitor. The format combines classical time controls (90+30 for later rounds) with faster-paced early rounds, so you can choose the schedule that fits your style. Notably, grandmasters and international masters compete free, and the modest $80–$100 entry fee keeps participation affordable for most players.
