Her daughter, Persephone, was abducted by Hades and crowned Queen of the Underworld.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Demeter was furious because she had denied his previous request to take Persephone, and so she vowed the Earth would support no life until her daughter was with her again.  Zeus struck a compromise with Hades and Demeter where Persephone&#8217;s time would be split 50\/50.  Spring is when Demeter allows life to flourish again upon Persephone&#8217;s ascent from hell.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Long story short, our winter classical event was postponed and we moved it to March aka the &#8220;Ascent of Persephone&#8221; (in the northern hemisphere)!  And the fickle weather has illustrated this cusp of Winter and Spring perfectly.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260307_151432-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"8639\" src=\"https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260307_151432-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8639\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260307_151432-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260307_151432-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260307_151432-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260307_151432-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260307_151432-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260314_151533-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"8640\" src=\"https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260314_151533-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260314_151533-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260314_151533-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260314_151533-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260314_151533-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/piermontchess.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/20260314_151533-2048x1152.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This event is our bi-annual classical chess event because we spoil ourselves with blitz and rapid games.

Because the games are long we stretch it over two weeks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">We played two games of G\/60d10 on March 7th and two more on March 14th.
