Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
Perfect for players rated under 2050 looking for a leisurely Thanksgiving weekend tournament with flexible scheduling—choose the relaxed 3-day classical format (G/90) or compress it into an intensive 2-day sprint with faster time controls. Multiple sections from U1150 through Premier ensure you'll face similarly-rated opponents, and GMs and IMs compete free while other players enjoy reasonable entry fees starting at just $59.
