Since I have given so many comments, I must concentrate my reply on some typical
faults in yyour overall well put message. You reason with interesting clarity
but you make also typical faults. Here for instance I wanted to give the idea of
the importance of practice. It wasn't a concrete proposal. And of such sort are
all your faults. I will mention them in short notes.

Yes, correct, but only if nothing is really at stake and that exactly is the
reason why you won't find any sponsors for such a nonsense. Without
recompensation=money no human group will tolerate such disturbances. If they do,
then of course a comp has won in the lottery each round. See the Dutch Ch.

Indeed. Because their was nothing at stake. For the players! They even refused
to play the machine! Or lost intentiously.

Are you a priest? Give him credit, you didn't believe that could recover from
your illness? Is that your best argument? What has DJ done so far. Please tell
us! DJ didn't do too much. It was Kasparov alone who defined the games. Want to
doubt it? "Also give credit" - is that an order?

You are a priest! I knew it. His standing? You mean in chess? It's decreasing.
As a human being? Please come back, next time I tell you. Whispering: Nobody
believes him. All know that he's greedy after the money, nothing else. All his
political dimensions have been proven a big hoax. His whole attitude in comp
events is a shame as it's proven by now. He's so evil that he can bite the hand
that gave him the money. Look, in Germany, his status is the product of one man!
But I won't tell you the rest of that story. Perhaps next time around.
