OVERVIEW
Reverse Angle is a 3-round US Chess classical tournament with a $1,000 guaranteed prize fund.
RA 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 in 2007 when our goal was to take an alternative approach to organizing chess in the region (Reverse Angle).
