how come there are so few tournaments that have a rating band? currently there are so many open to all - do i just miss them? though i am on every day and check
Also, I really appreciated some recent tournaments with a band between 1700 and 1950. I think there are a lot of us around 1800-1900 players that have real trouble competing with 2000+ players. In particular it is nice to have just normal duels and triplets, without needing to learn a specific opening and without requiring too many added games at once.
