The chess championship was held in Portland

Chess is a serious game.

My dad was serious about it, which is how I wound up being so good at it.

From the time I was old enough to talk, Dad was making me play chess with him. I got very good at it, and was always on the school chess team no matter what school I was attending. As an adult I still play, only now I do it on a higher level. I am part of the national chess organization, which hosts a national championship tournament every year. This year the event was hosted in Portland, Oregon, so I was especially excited to attend. I have some friends who live in Portland, and they always show me a good time whenever I visit them. I had to keep myself in check, because I love smoking cannabis and drinking beer, which are both things Portland is known for. Too much cannabis clouds my brain and makes my chess game a lot worse. Long story short, I did not keep myself in check, and I was eliminated in the first round of the Portland chess championship! I was relieved by this, because now I had more time to explore Portland, hang out with my friends, and smoke marijuana. Although Portland has a very low-key vibe to it, it is most definitely a party town! I’m glad the chess championships are hosted somewhere new every year, because if I went back to Portland again the same thing would happen! The weed in Portland is just too good for me to resist.
