This tournament is dedicated to the life and career of Mary Livingstone (June 22, 1908 – June 30, 1983), an American radio comedian and actress. She was the wife and radio partner of comedian Jack Benny.

Enlisted casually to perform on her husband's program, she proved a talented comedian. But she also proved one of the rare performers to experience severe stage fright years after her career was established, so much so that she retired from show business completely, after two decades in the public eye, almost three decades before her death and at the height of her husband and partner's fame.

The 2018 Mary Livingstone Memorial starts on Livingstone’s birthday, June 22nd. Time control is set for three days per move and the number of participants is limited to 250 players. Let us make this tournament a fitting tribute to Mary Livingstone!
