Notes:
- the homepage of 2700chess.com has a calendar that lists the top players attending some of the events.
- the list of the eligible tournaments for the FIDE Circuit can be used as a calendar of "relevant" tournaments, as the requirements to be listed there are very strict.
- for events near you check the websites of your country chess federation and of the nearest chess clubs; the website 64.place can be helpful in finding chess locations.
