Abstract
We discuss the stability of multiquark systems within the recent model of Glozman et al. where the chromomagnetic hyperfine interaction is r eplaced by pseudoscalar meson exchange contributions. We find that suc h an interaction binds a heavy tetraquark systems QQ<(qq)over bar> (Q = c, b and q = u, d) by 0.2-0.4 GeV. This is at variance with results of previous models where cc<(qq)over bar> is unstable.
