Yes.  Four of us played on Dutch radio.  DT was board 1, CB was board 2,
Hitech was board 3 and I can't recall who was on board 4.  Nor do I remember
the exact timing of this match.  Jaap set it up...  I think we played game/90
as the radio broadcast was live, but only 3 hours long.  I think the results
were DT drew, Hitech lost, CB won, and the fourth game again I don't remember.
