It is very difficult for Black to find<br />
any activity. White’s central pawn<br />
mass has less trouble demonstrating<br />
its mobility.<br />

State Championship Games<br />
Part II: Oregon State Championship conclusion (Rounds 5-9), plus selected<br />
games from the Idaho Closed State Championship<br />
Part I of the State Championship Games for Oregon and Washington (rounds 1-4, the first weekend) was covered in the March <strong>2013</strong><br />
issue.<br />
We originally intended to publish the remaining games from the Oregon and Washington State Championships in this issue. However, due<br />
to space considerations, we have decided to publish the remaining Oregon State Championship games (rounds 5-9, the final weekend) plus<br />
a selection of games from the Idaho Closed State Championship here in this issue. And the third installment of the series, the conclusion,<br />
to follow in the May issue for the remaining games of the Washington State Championship (rounds 5-9). All notes in this section are by<br />
Ralph Dubisch with the exception that one situation-clarifying comment in the Idaho games is by Jeff Roland.<br />
