I understand your "incentive" comment but I don't think that kind of money will make humans play that much better. Most high ranked humans have a high elo because they hate to lose/love to win and have an inner drive to do the best they can all the time. Just my opinion of course. So I say the money will not make that much difference in the human performance. I think the key to your question is that the humans will not be able to practice vs the actual programs they play. I think this will be a bigger factor in the performance. Regards, Jim
