Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This established event welcomes players across all levels with six dedicated sections ranging from Championship down to Under 1200, so you can compete against peers at your skill level. The classical time controls (40/120 with 30-second increment for later rounds, or Game/40 for the faster 2-day option) give you room to think, and the tournament spans either two or three days depending on your schedule. Entry fees are reasonable at $60–110, with significant discounts for younger/newer players and free entry for titled players.
