Testimonial

"Just wanted to give a shoutout to Abel Talamantez and the rest of the MI chess family for a pleasurable playing experience at the Carroll Capps Memorial.
I traveled from Hawaii to play in this tournament. Couldn't close the deal in the money round but still had a good time with friendly players. Also took the first step towards a published FIDE rating! More weekend FIDE-rated tournaments for class players please!" Ed S.
