Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This single-day Swiss event suits players of all levels, with separate Open and Under-1600 sections and discounted or free entry for titled players. The G/45 time control offers a brisk but thoughtful pace, perfect if you want a competitive tournament without a multi-day commitment. Prize funds in both sections include bonuses for top female finishers and an upset prize, so there's something to play for whether you're chasing first place or pulling off an upset.
