Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This four-day international event in Washington, DC welcomes players across a wide range of strengths, from unrated players up to international masters, with tiered entry fees that reward higher-rated competitors. The classical time control (40 moves in 80 minutes, then 30 minutes to finish with a 30-second increment) suits players who prefer thoughtful, deliberate chess over rapid formats. The nine-round Swiss system means you'll face opponents near your skill level regardless of your current rating.
