Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This weekend championship is perfect for Delaware players across all levels, with separate sections for experienced competitors, intermediate players (under 1600), and beginners (under 1000). The classical time control (G/90; d5) allows for thoughtful chess, and with a reasonable entry fee of $100–$130, it's an accessible way to test your skills in a five-round Swiss format. GMs and IMs play free, making this an especially strong value for titled players.
