Yes, he could earn more respect, but he probable want to ensure to earn more
money. I myself would like as you to see a more detached, sporting attitude to
all this, but for these guys to play chess is not playing chess, but a way of
living from which all depends. If he should cut the troath of his granma to make
sure he will win, he would be already sharpening the blade.
