Subject: Kasparov offered $700,000 to lose to Deep Junior.

They are offering to give Kasparov $700,000 to show up and lose. He's only
human and that's an awful big temptation. Why would he work a thousand times as
hard for an extra 14%?
Just show up, play casually and without concentrating very hard, and you're
$700,000 richer.
I've never heard of a match in any sport in which somebody gets only 14% more
money for winning versus losing.
Why not cut the loser's share dramatically and make it interesting?
