Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This three-day Swiss tournament offers two sections to accommodate different skill levels, with a substantial $5,000 prize fund to compete for. The classical time control (G/90; d5) allows for thoughtful, strategic play rather than rapid calculation. At $95–$120 to enter, it's an affordable way to test yourself in a serious competitive setting over a weekend.
