Subject: Money talks, bs walks

 I was saddened to hear about the Morovic vs. Ferret debacle. Without a decent
financial incentive it is proving difficult to attract strong GM's to play slow
time limit matches against strong micros. I would personally like to pledge $100
for every game that a GM can win in a 6 game 40/2 match against Ferret or one of
the other top six programs. Of course I will also pledge $100 to the
programmer(s) for every win their program can score. If enough people will
follow suit I'm sure we can interest a strong GM to tackle one of the better
micros. My only stipulation is that the match must be 40/2 and atleast 6 games
in duration. Any other takers out there?
Yours Sincerely
Peter Hegger
