K-12 Highland Park Fall Classic

Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This event is ideal for student players in elementary through high school who want to compete in a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere—with separate sections for different skill levels, from beginners under 1000 to experienced players. The 4-round Swiss format and G/55 time control (55 minutes per side plus 5-second increment) strike a nice balance between thoughtful play and manageable pacing for a single-day event. At just $15 to enter, it's an affordable way to get tournament experience or support your child's chess development.
