I asked the rethorical question, because two days ago a friend of mine who works
for AMD Marketing and promotion asked me "Do any of the current top programs
have a chance against the top female Chess Player using a single processor?",
and I immediately told him that NOT until another year or two, but I was
thinking at that moment of Judy Polgar. I was about to approach him this
Saturday again and propose to him that it would be a good Idea to wait for the
New Female FIDE Chess Champion, but I thought that first I should ask for people
opinion through this message board. He told me that his company can spend a
small petty cash to advertise their XP Single Processor, But at this time no
more than $300,000. I was thinking of proposing $200,000 if she wins
$75,000 if whe draws and only $25,000 If she Lose. But to promise at least
$75,000 for the programmer and operator of the candidate program.
