Press Release Body = The Chess for Success State Championship Tournament concluded
last Saturday afternoon at the Portland Convention Center. Among the top finishers
in the high school division was Christopher Kevorkian, a 16-year-old junior
attending The Delphian School in Sheridan. Christopher tied for second in a field of
twenty-two of Oregon's top high school chess players.

in the team and individual competitions.
