POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
I played in a chess tournament in Salt Lake City on Saturday,
2 February 2020 and tied for first place in my section. I copied this tournament report off the U. S. Chess Federation website, but it doesn't show up in neat, easy to read columns here like it did there!

(The following update posted 11 February 2020)
I am posting a picture of me holding a chess trophy. This is totally fake. I did not win this trophy. I just held it for the picture a few years ago, before the tournament had even begun!

I should be getting a check in the mail, though, either today or tomorrow.

Hmmmmm.... Doesn't line up neat and pretty like it did on the original. Oh, well. It's been a while since I tied for first place in a chess tournament!
