Anand is really a nice guy. But I think we cannot take him for any kind of
serious authority. He's just another buddy of ChessBase/FF. But since he has
family I would agree that he would even play 6 games for 90000 Euro. Also 50000.
That he is willing to play showed his appearance on the server during the 4th
game.

I would say this: If he gets the truth out of GM Benjamin about 1997, then I
would allow him to play for 150000 Euro. If he can't then he should go back to
India and support his chess school. We have Russians enough and also Ukrainians.
Then Ponomariov should play for at least 600000.

:)

I think we here in CCC should set the conditions. Life is too short to waste too
much time. ;)
