The 2013 Scholastic Chess Season is off to a good start with the Metzger Tournament coming on January 12. The Winter 2013 All-Stars list is being prepared and should be posted in the next couple of days; in the meantime, here is a list of the top 25 scholastic players in the state. Ratings are the maximum of current (1/2/2013) NWSRS and January published USCF. Players have been active (at least one NWSRS or USCF game) since champs last April and must be enrolled in grades K-12 in Oregon’s schools. Well done to all these players! (HT: Dan Dalthorp).
