Look in the triple digits of the FIDE rankings for >GMs that would participate with such a venue. > >-elc. Imagine a sport where the players had to pay an entrance fee to enter/play. Imagine that if the player does not play well he gets nothing for his time. But imagine that the winner will get a very big prize for winning. This happens all the time in golf,bowling,tennis,snooker,billiards etc. GM's are idiots and that's why most of them can't make a decent living playing chess. GM's had their chance a few years ago when they could still beat the programs. Programs are passing them by and pretty soon there will be zero money available to see a GM get trounced by a computer program. Their time will have passed and the GM's will still be crying for more money to do nothing. Jim
