Subject: How much interest would this generate?

I'm planning a 4 game match between Junior6 (and possibly some other programs as
well), against a well know Senior Master (rated around 2375), at a 40/2,
followed by 25 in 1 time control, at the Marshall.

The match would be conducted manually, using my 200 mHz Notebook computer (24 mb
of ram), in that I would be tranferring the moves from the screen to the chess
board, pressing the clock and so forth.

I am hoping to arrange such an event in one of our future schedules, and
hopefully also arrange for the participating master to be paid a small fee.

How interesting would this sort of thing be?  A top program on limited hardware,
against a fairly strong master, but not someone exceptional.  If the program
beats him to easily, I could probably arrange for a match against one of the
many IM/GM's that frequent our club too.  But of course, that's only if the
first inexpensive match is successful, as the titled player(s) would definately
have to be paid more than I could arrange at this time.

I hope to set up this (first event), for our June schedule.
