Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This three-day Swiss tournament offers something for players across a wide range of strengths, with dedicated sections for those under 2000, 1600, and 1200 rating, plus a Premier section for stronger players. Games use classical time controls (90 minutes plus 30-second increment for the top three sections, 60 minutes for U1200), giving you time to think through your moves rather than relying on quick tactics. Entry fees are reasonable at $65–$180 depending on section, with free entry for titled players.
