Is This Tournament a Good Fit?
This multi-format Swiss event challenges players across three time controls—from blitz to classical—making it ideal if you enjoy variety and want to test your skills in different tempos within a single tournament. The entry fee is accessible for most players, with free admission for masters, and the 12-round structure provides substantial play without requiring a full weekend commitment. Whether you're a casual player looking for a fun endurance test or a competitive player seeking meaningful classical games mixed with faster rounds, the triathlon format offers something for each.
