June 2026 Tournament Report

We loved our June 2026 tournament!

Our June 2026 tournament was another fantastic day of chess, community, and learning. We were excited to welcome both longtime Puddletown families and many first-time participants from around Oregon. From the opening round to the final games, the room was buzzing with focus, sportsmanship, and a shared love for chess.

As usual…. a huge shout-out to our incredible volunteers, who helped tirelessly throughout the day and made the tournament run smoothly.
