SRB - It's my understanding that the Primary purpose of the boards is not financial.
I also understand that the initial cost of the boards will be raised by a variety of methods and not by one single method.
The sponsorhip and advertising ideas are fairly new territory to most but those involved in events in other countries are aware that the potential is there. The challenge is to harness the full potential.
The links below show some statistics and prices relating to chess advertising, all be it on a much larger scale and involving more prestigous events. The map ovelay does show that there is a significant interest in live games. From the pricng page, a very rough calculation shows that filling a couple of ad spaces all year round would generate around 18,000 euros for chessdom.
I certainly don't imagine that CS will generate such revenues, well not in the first year anyway but it does show there is a market out there for a product CS now have. Who knows what can be done with a bit of hard work, a bit of passion, a touch of energy and some enthusiasm.
