I will be playing in this tournament again. I love the NEO and have had great results both times I've played.

Mike Selig really puts on a great event!

A chess game is divided into three stages: the first, when you hope you have the advantage, the second, when you believe you have an advantage, and the third, when you know you’re going to lose! — Savielly Tartakower
