Both men (or teams, rather) might be fairly sure. But all-or-nothing style income is for fools. Will you work under conditions like that? The men on both sides of that fence are brilliant -- among the best in the world without question. Both have incredible ideas that border on genius. Couldn't one party be mistaken that their ideas are best, considering the competition? Do not consider my reply as meaning I don't like the idea of the contest. I think that contest would be more thrilling than anything else I would like to see accomplished in the game of chess. I just don't like the financing idea. We have to find something that will capture the imagination of the world like Deep Blue verses Kasparov did. At that point, such a development could be funded.
