In the commercial future of show events we will see a similar procedure because
who will play for a beer? Sure, unknown GM from Russia would play for one or two
games because they get ChessBase8&Fritz8 (plus Shredder7) for free. That was it
what I saw several weeks ago on the ChessBase server in Germany. Nothing
official and operated by a very motivated operator of Shredder. Ok, perhaps it
was an event to motivate the operating scene...

Here we had the implied question if DJ is "better" than DB2 or now the question
if DJ is a Super-GM.

For 1 million US$$ I would admit that I was married with Garry Kasparov for a
couple of days! I think at least we two agree so far. How come that you dare to
think this way about commercialism here in CCC? Or did the Germans engage you
for the next battle in the "Teutoburger" Forest (against the "Romans")? ;)
