Why do we need him to play?

It is better to suggest 1000$ entry fee with prizes of
100,000$ for winning, 5,000$ for drawing and 0$ for losing.

The sponsor can let every player to register to the challange and start from the
weakest players and continue until they find a player who wins.

The winner is going to get an opportunity to get another match.
people who draw the match are also going to earn money.

Maybe loaksoft or chessbase or another company can decide to be the sponsor.

If they believe that their program is good enough then it mean that they
have a chance to earn money from some entry fees when they do not need to pay
the prize for the winner or a player who get a draw because all the humans lose.
