nope, not a chance. Nice try though. There does not seem to be a lot of interest anyhow. Thanks for taking a look.

lol, well I would except I have had to close out my websites due to expense and time allocation effort. Not enough interest was shown. Thanks for your support, though. Good luck

@YankeeBastid Thank you for investing money and time in the global chess community! I know you worked very hard on 4teamchess. If you'd like to look into new ways to continue with this tournament without expenses, I can help.

Unfortunately I have had to shut down my website that displayed the results of the events, so.... no podcast now.
