Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This event offers something for players across a wide range of strengths, with separate sections for Masters-level competitors (Premier, FIDE-rated), intermediate players around 2200, and those under 1600—so you can find peers at your skill level. The classical time control (G/90+30) allows for thoughtful play, while the Swiss format means you'll face opponents matched to your performance throughout the event. Entry fees are reasonable at $125–$350 depending on section, making it accessible without breaking the bank.
