Just takes some enterprising chess >programmer to fulfil the above. I am trying my damndest to make this happen right now. The hardest part is exactly what Dann says, it'll have to take a HUGE sac of cash. Most GM's want, based on ONE 120/0 game, about $75. Two games, 12 GM's, that's $1,800. I've even tried to barter a deal with sponsors where _I_ put up most the money. No one has an interest. I am still trying. I will continue to try, until it happens. But it is very difficult. Slate
