Hi all: I regret to communicate all of you that Ivan has just called me to say that it is impossible for him to play now as much as his problems with his home removal are not solved, so he is using all afternoons to look for a new flat and so has not the time neither the stamina to play now. He promised, nevertheless, to do it around middle September, after returning a tournament in Europe, but then he expect to play at most 4 games against ferret, not 6. He is very thankful to all that people that has offered even more money, although he insist that he would do it the same without a penny. I personally regret very much all this as much as I kindled some sparks of enthusiasm and expectations about, but my effort to persuade Ivan to play anyway, no matter the problems, was not enough and he refused sternly. I am sorry and in the very fringe to reach the same conclusion that so many people reach each time they try to organize something and then fail, the conclusion encased in that old saying about how better is not do endeavor nothing in order not to risk nothing. fernando
