Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This weekend tournament in the DC area offers both 2-day and 3-day schedule options, making it flexible depending on your availability. With sections ranging from U1500 to 1900+, you'll find a competitive match for your skill level, and the classical time control (40 moves in 80 minutes, then 30 minutes to finish) provides a thoughtful pace for serious play. At $118–$140 to enter, it's an accessible option for a five-round Swiss event.
