Oscar Wilde has somewhere remarked, “You can’t reason a man out of a position he has not reasoned himself into.” I confess I have reasoned myself into believing that Chess Moves was not only good for chess instruction, but good for the soul as well. The details organized by Neil were first rate. Larry, Susan, and Joel provided excellent instruction. I look forward to other such adventures.

My private lesson with FM Paul Truong was fantastic!!! He shared more useful information and answered more questions than I would have thought possible and he offered his email address for further follow-up! I have studied with professional coaches in the past — and this short 45-minute session was without a doubt the most instructive I’ve ever had.

Natasha, my spouse, and I had a fantastic experience on the Chess Moves Geek Cruise. The students were terrific, and your staff were fun to work with. I have given glowing reports of the cruise to hundreds of interested chess players. The simple truth is, the first Chess Moves was just plain phenomenal.
Grandmaster Larry Christiansen
Making new chess friends was a pleasant surprise … the organizers, Neil and Randal — great job! I really appreciate the availability of photos, post cruise. The maiden voyage was a great pleasure and the first of many for chess enthusiasts!
Frederick Long, M.D.
Neil did a great job organizing everything and promptly emailing answers to all my questions.
Sandy Miller
It was great! I could not stop smiling the whole time. I will remember this trip for a long time.

I certainly would go to Chess Moves at least once a year if I like the itinerary.

A world class event with world class people.

I found the experience wonderful. I suppose additional class options would be nice, but it was great just the way it was! THANK YOU!

This cruise and the chess classes were definitly a word class event. I wish I could have done it before as it really encourages me to stick to chess and work to improve my game (I admit there is a lot to do). The choice of the GMs was great as each had a different personality and gave a specific pespective of the game. It is something I will remember for a long time and I have already started planning for the next Chess Moves cruise even if I am not sure I will be able to make it. Thanks again Neil.

My husband and I have been on six cruises and numerous trips and he commented today that “Chess Moves is the most organized, well done package” that he has seen. This is a really big compliment in that part of his job is analyzing other peoples marketing and program development.

I was on the first Chess Moves and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience on board. Thanks Neil.
