Is it really necessary to grovel for the BGN Cash Championship to this extent?
Inventing yet another title to get a piece of the action, knowing that it won't
work. We all know that BGN couldn't care less about finding the strongest
program or presenting something resembling a legitimate champion. The normally
accepted methods for doing so has already been established here several times.

Just take it for what it is, an exhibition match. No more, no less. The only
thing that really annoys me is nonsensical press coverage like this:

lot to do about though.
