Lincoln's First Inauguration, 1861

Today’s Presidential Inauguration is a good time to remind scholastic chess players of the Presidents’ Weekend Tournament, to be held Saturday, February 16th at Robert Gray Middle School, located in SW Portland not far off I-5.

There will, of course, be awards galore, including PEZ-idential prizes …  (Our perspective on Presidential PEZ dispensers?  Kitsch, but perfectly good for this purpose.).  Four sections, from Open / 1300+ to a U600 division, are guaranteed, but there will likely be many more divisions and many more awards for our participants.
