The human is going to get money only if (s)he wins the match and get nothing in case of losing. The programmers are allowed to change the program between the games. Interesting to know how many GM's want a match in these conditions and what is the minimal prize money to convince GM's to try. The idea is to encourage only GM's who believe that they can beat the programs covinvingly to try it in order to find how many GM's believe that they can do it. Uri
