what i tink even more interresting is a match with 4 very strong humans and 4
strong comps, where humans play only comps as in the old aegon tournament, the
humans will get 400,000$ for the 1st, 300,000$, 200,000$ and 100,000$ for the
next seats.

let's say Kasparov, Kramnik, Leko and Anand againt Shredder, Chesstiger, Fritz
and Junior :)
