Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This two-day Swiss event at San Francisco's historic Mechanics' Institute welcomes players across all competitive levels, with separate sections for masters (2000+), intermediate players (1600–1999), and everyone under 1600. With four rounds of 90-minute games plus 30-second increments, you'll have time for thoughtful play without an overwhelming time commitment over the weekend.
