This is the glory of the British:

As an American, I've never SEEN a biscuit tin that would hold money.
Thanks, Alastair!

Back to the topic - I'm sure Kramnik will want to do well. He knows he will be
compared to Kasparov (in his match with Junior). If he can stomp DF, and
Kasparov loses or draws with DJ, it's sure Kramnik's stock will rise most
appreciably.

Will it be worth more than a biscuit tin full of money to Kramnik?
Probably.
