You won’t find TLAs for many tournaments in CHESS LIFE for events in Washington and Oregon. There are lots of events being held. The Portland Fall Open held at the Portland Chess Club in Portland Oregon drew 28 players in two sections. Radu Roua of Portland won the 17 player Open Section 4-1, three wins and two draws. Nick Raptis of Portland, Daniel Gay were among the players with 3.5. Neil Dale as usual directed the event.
