Go up one level in this thread


I haven't been following this whole thing that closely, has it been revealed
what sort of performance incentive Yermo is on?

Obviously, if he is being paid for each half point he scores, then he will be
trying to maximise his overall score.  This would be good from an experimental
standpoint.

Of course there will still be an overriding 'pride factor', which means that
Yermo will not want to do anything silly to risk losing the match.  But 'point
money' would still be a good thing I think.

cheers,
Peter
