Any other takers out there? >Yours Sincerely >Peter Hegger >peterfh@lon.ionline.net I had the following exchange with GM Maxim Dlugy on ICC. I was probably wrong to mention a specific figure, but I guessed that if some random guy was willing to come up with a hundred bucks, someone else might contribute another hundred. It might not be that hard to find a GM for a hundred bucks a point, since they don't have to put on a suit and leave their house to get they money. bruce ------------------- aics% tell dlugy if you want to make a few bucks, you can probably get $200 a po int to play a computer a 6 game match at 40/2. (told Dlugy) aics% . some people i know are fishing for a GM to play some computer, any compu ter, they don't even care which one. (told Dlugy) aics% Dlugy(GM) tells you: that might be interesting aics% . i will mention this to these guys. (told Dlugy) aics% Dlugy(GM) tells you: ok thanks
