$10,000,000???????????? The most money EVER payed for a COMPLETE SCREENPLAY was
$3,000,000.- for the screenplay for BASIC INSTINCT (believe it or not!) so,
maybe your figure is a lITTLE bit too high! ;-)

MY story is already created, I just need the chess game that ends in 8
consecutive captures! If you could help me with that, that'd be awesome! I tried
it myself, but my chess skills just aren't good enough ( by far!). I think the
best would be to recreate the game BACKWARDS, BEGINNING with checkmate and THEN
CREATE 8 captures that lead up to the checkmate, but I can't do that!

so long,
markus
