Dear KarinsDad,

You are dead right on this one.   If the SuperGMS rake in the shekels then
maybe the money would trickle down to the rest of the chess world.  Don't
you think that chess is more important than baseball or basketball or wrest-
ling?  Why should an honorable gentleman like Mark McGuire make millions of
dollars and a guy like Joel Benjamin just get by?  The reason that chess or
checkers or bridge ain't popular is that the "populace" at large can't
comprehend the complexities of these games and so rapidly lose interest.

With "bells and whistles" it might be possible to interest the general
population in chess.  Who knows, folks like you or Mike Valvo might become
the V. McMahons of chess if you play your "cards" right.

The future looks bright for advanced chess,

Tim Frohlick, ACP  (advanced chess promoter)
