Post by PAKman »

04-01-2008 ... The http://www.enginechess.com website is available (at no charge) to anyone who will agree to maintain and update the site for at least the remainder of the 2008 year. I am moving on to other interest. The web space is paid for the remainder of the year and the site name is also paid. Both are subject to renewal at the end of the year. The website has been a tremendous success with over 9000 visits from chess fans from all over the world this year. I am gratefully for all the suggestions which helped to improve the site and its content. The passwords will be turned over to the new owner to change. Please contact me at normpruitt@charter.net or Skype: paknorm P/S I know its 1April but this is real.

Hi Shawn,

Thank you from all the best wishes.
I hope to try my hand at a political website before the election. With wanting to travel, Over the Board Chess, PAKserver, RapidShare, and http://www.enginechess.com it need to free myself for other adventures.

I will not be leaving http://www.playchess.com even though my equipment needs upgrading its still great fun and comradely.

You Have a Great Day!
Norm
