Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This single-day Swiss tournament welcomes players of all levels, with separate Open and Reserve (under 1600) sections to ensure competitive matches at your skill level. The G/60 time control offers a brisk pace while remaining thoughtful, and the modest entry fee ($40–60 before the deadline) makes it an affordable way to compete. Top-rated players get free entry with prizes adjusted accordingly, so there's something for everyone from newcomers to masters.
