Hello- Does anyone know of a chess org. that offers online chess tournaments with standard time controls such as G/90, G/120, 40/90 etc. All I see on these sites is blitz and rapid.
I prefer OTB chess, but $500.00 - $1000.00 per event for travel, lodging, food, entry fee etc. can be a little hard on the bank account. Any suggestions would be welcome. 🙂

OK - I'll take that for a "No" Thanks 🙂

Let me know if you find anything, I would be interested in tournaments.
I am a bit doubtful that something exists though, as when I did USCF rated blitz games online 5ish years ago EVEN THAT was dominated by cheaters, and they never reimbursed rating points. . . . so long games might even be more difficult.
@boggyd saidI understand. A surprisingly useful alternative for those wishing OTB competition with slower time controls via the internet is to play against the bots on other chess sites. It's not quite the same as competing against a human, but pretty close.

Perhaps we could do a round robin 30/30 in the Live section here. I just got back into chess so I might need a few weeks to knock the rust off but then I can picture myself playing long games again. 🙂

@boggyd saidHe’s beyond your ability, start around 1200 for a while you’re missing a bunch in your games.

Yeah, its going to take me a while to build up again. In 2019 I hit my peak of 1900+ on a few other sites. Right now I'm speeding through games on here against u1500s and just trying to build up some rating... might become a sub and do some tournaments.
I really need to go through a few of my tactics books, I'm definitely not sharp.

@boggyd saidIf you do feel free to join my clan we have some really good players to help. MLSCHESS will push you till you’re nuts and is kind enough to help. I like going fast also and it kills me from playing where I want to be so I know how hard it is.
