3rd Annual McMinnville Chess Tournament

We are excited to announce our next McMinnville Chess Tournament on Saturday, May 16th, 2026, from 9am-5pm. Join us! We will have USCF-rated and -unrated sections for both Scholastic Youth and Adults.

If you’d like to learn more about our last tournament, including tournament results, photos, and sponsor details, check out our article, A Knight to Remember, which was also published in the July, 2025 issue of NW Chess magazine.

This time our tournament is Saturday, May 16th, from 9am-5pm at McMinnville High School, where we’ve reserved several rooms comfortably seat up to 100 players.

Tickets are $20, and there’s no fee at all to current McMinnville Chess Club members at any level (monthly, annual, lifetime, and family). We also have a scholarship program and a discount code for anyone who asks. No one will ever be turned away.

Thanks so much, and we look forward to seeing you at our event!
