That is a bummer. It doesn't sound it prevents you from taking another run in the future. I'd like to join but work prevents regular attendance without working out some significant day off switches. I'm not that strong, either.

There will be a qualification process to fill the last eight slots. I'm not sure how that works, but I suspect Portland is unlikely to qualify. After all, we didn't do very well last season.

Last I heard, the league is reducing the number of teams from 48 to 32. The league is inviting 24 of the old teams to return, and Portland was not one of those 24.

We did have someone talk about possibly streaming live commentary, but I don't know that anything's come of it yet. If anyone out there has the technical know-how and chess expertise to do a decent job of it, I'm sure the team would be happy to have you get in touch!

Unfortunately Portland Rain doesn't get much coverage. Is there any other (Portland) people doing live coverage?

So my understanding is the lineup will be Jim, Nick, Steven, and a rotating member?

As a team, we made a conscious decision before the season to give our up-and-coming players experience instead of recruiting free agents from out of town, even though this would make us underdogs in most every match. On the bright side, we should be getting FM Steven Breckenridge into our lineup now. He was traveling and unavailable for our first two matches, but should be able to play for us going forward.

That was a very disappointing week 2, losing 3.5-12.5 to Seattle. Nick held his own with 2 points, but Jim had a very bad day and our bottom boards didn't get the job done. I saw we got some good positions and could easily have gotten more points, but good positions don't count until they're actually won.

Thanks for your interest! You need to be one of the top players in Portland in order to actually play for the pro league team. If you want to get active in the Portland over-the-board chess scene, the Portland Chess Club holds tournaments on a regular basis, with all skill levels welcome!

I am a Portland guy and would love to be a part of this. I am no good but would love to get better!
