  • Sam Cavett

    It was an honor to play in the Paul Morphy Memorial again this year. I always look forward to playing against fierce competition and opponents who have a true respect for chess, two requisites demanded by Jude. Being certain of this we are able to have fun and enjoy the setting of the French Market on Decatur. I personally think this is one of the most unique tournaments because of who host this invitational, the great Jude Acers, and people he has met along the way, the players invited, and lastly that we are in Morphy’s yard as it were! This cumulatively makes this the most sought after tournament! Many of you have played years ahead of me in this tournament and I look forward to many years to come! Thank you again, Jude. And to all participants, thank you for a great tournament.
