Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This four-round Swiss event offers something for everyone: an Open section for strong players and a Reserve section capped at 1600 rating for those looking to compete at a more accessible level. With a G/60 time control, you'll play rapid chess that's fast enough to finish in a single day without feeling rushed. The entry fee is very reasonable at $40–$60 (or free if you're rated 2200+), making this an affordable way to test yourself in a competitive field.
