Go up one level in this thread

I think we are all agreed that Kramnik vs. Machine is a purely commercial event:

a) Kramnik gets money from Braingames because he plays.
b) Braingames gets money because they organize the event, attract sponsors and
contract Kramnik.
c) Braingames gets money from the machine guys because they get publicity.
d) The machine guys get money because they sell more machines.

--------

I remember another purely commercial event:

a) Kasparov gets money from the machine guys because he plays.
b) The machine guys get money because they sell more machines.

I still remember how Hyatt and Moreland complained loudly that Junior or Fritz
(who where the ICCA champions at that time) should play Kasparov and not Deep
Blue.
