Event Overview
Reverse Angle is a 3 round US Chess classical/regular rated tournament. The event boasts a $1,000 guaranteed prize fund which is split between 3 sections: Open, Under 1900, and Under 1500.
Reverse Angle is the strongest single day event in the Southeast. If you're looking for a strong, single-day event, look no further. As for the name, it's a name that stuck since our first RA way back in 2007 when our goal was to take an alternative approach to organizing chess in the region (Reverse Angle).
