I do not think that the players in the dutch championship are proffesaional players. Players who are not very strong grandmasters cannot live from chess. I know that GM yona kossasvili is working as a doctor because he cannot live from chess. I do not think that the tournament is everything for the players. If players could live from chess they could also learn to play better. Unfortunately they cannot and this is the reason that humans are weak in chess. Uri
