It was a historic night in Nebraska Chess when Hall of Famer Rich Chess made his triumphant return to tournament play at the 8th Spence Quick. In his first tournament in 25+ years Chess (his real name!) scored 4.0/5 to claim a share of first place along with John Hartmann. Only Rene Opavsky was able to stop the rampaging Chess by defeating him in the final round.
