Due to their proximity and relative isolation from other major chess centers, there has always been a (generally!) friendly rivalry between players from British Columbia and the state of Washington. For many years this rivalry has had official outlet in annual B.C. vs. Washington matches; this page presents the scores of these matches, along with details of specific contests where available. [In these tables the B.C. score is always given first.] {Stephen Wright " British Columbia Chess History" - web page}
