As a matter of fact I _KNOW_ there are. When I played Petr that 30/10 game, there were over 200 observers, more than had ever watched him. There is a HUGE interest. However, I wish you luck in supporting the habit of Man vs Machine games. There aren't many GM's willing to play a match against a computer at long time controls for free. There are some, but not many. To be perfectly honest, I FULLY expect GTII to blow this FM out of the water. If this was Vegas, I'd put the odds in GTII's favor 4 to 1. Slate
