I am a chess player, and like to play in tournaments when I can. When we lived in the Seattle/Tacoma area, I could play in many tournaments. One of my favorites though, is the National Open in Las Vegas. It's held in June. I went two years ago, and it hit about 106-108. In Seattle 90 is reached once in a while for a day or two. I now live near Hilo Hawaii. I had a good tournament that year, but, man, was I glad to return to the big island, where the weather stays about high 70s, low 80s all the time.
