The next major Portland-area chess tournament for the Winter Season is on the calendar:  The Presidents’ Weekend Tournament, to be held Saturday, February 16th at Robert Gray Middle School, located in SW Portland not far off I-5.  This OSCF State Qualifier has cash prizes in the top two sections, and will have team awards and other generous trophies throughout the lower sections.  Whether you are giddy for Garfield, wacky for Wilson, or manic for Martin Van Buren, register online for the Presidents’ Weekend Tournament now!

For those of you wondering, it’s our understanding that the Whitford Tournament will not be happening this year (someone tell us ASAP if that changes), so plan to get your OSCF Qualifying events in otherwise…. OSCF State is April 12-13 in Seaside!
