115 entries and counting...

115 players have entered the Portland Chess Club Centennial tournament with one day remaining until the start. This amount exceeds expectations but is only about 60% of capacity. So there is still time to enter. Door entries will be accepted. $12 tournament memberships are available for Canadians and others who are not current US Chess Federation members.

Mike Morris and I will be entering the data into the SwissSys pairing program tonight. Just heard from GM Susan Polgar who is en route to Portland from San Francisco to participate in the celebration. See her comments earlier today in her blog.
