Is This Tournament a Good Fit?

This weekend tournament is ideal if you're looking for classical time-control chess without a huge commitment—two days of G/90 play with a modest entry fee of $60–$80. With separate sections for Open, U1600, and U1000 players, you'll find a division that matches your skill level, whether you're a developing player or competitive expert. The 5-second delay ensures you have time to think while keeping games moving at a reasonable pace.
