About my future with chess.com
I would first like to thank all the players who signed up for this great tournament. I would also like to let you all know that this may very well be the last major event that I will be taking part of with chess.com. I will be ending my games and career with chess.com by late July this comming summer due to other plans in my life which will be taking place in August which will be going back to school to study a new career. I have trully enjoyed playing with all of my friends and all of the teams that I have played for in my past 2-years with chess.com. It has been an experience which I will never forget in my life. This tournament and these games will be the last ones for me on this web-site, I will never forget all of the true friends that I made in my past 2-years on chess.com. Again thanks to everyone who signed up for this tournament and good luck to everyone !........Yours trully Michael M. (The Knight-Stalker)
