This ought to be our new CC Olympiad Great concept, Mr. Banks!
Geopolitical/NWO/United Nations chess, and now all we need is Far East Asia and Oceania to contribute teams.

Happy New Year, Graham!


Best regards,
CL

Happy New Year to you too, Carl.

You can't call this a true Olympiad because the strongest teams haven't been selected.
That's why I preferred to call it "The World Regional Teams Challenge".
