I take it with a grain of salt. If it happens L watch it if I can. When it does
it's not really the truth of the matter anyway. We know it's just publicity
advancement for CB and the lining of money in the GM's pockets. They don't have
the gonaids to push the game. They'll take a draw at the drop of a hat.

I say give the GM's NOTHING to play them. This will give their lazy rearends an
incentive to win as winning is the only way they can get money which is what is
motivating them from what we see when basically their taking all the money right
before they've even pushed a pawn!

Play 10 games

money disbursement is as follows:

a win ------------------- $100,000
a draw ------------------  $25,000
a loss ------------------  $50,000


This works out nicely as to accept lazy, sluggish draws inspires poverty whereas
if you deliberately lose to make more you get you ego trampled plus not making
as much as the win. The only way to play is "for the human race" as all these
hyprocries have been spouting is to go for the gold which is what they should be
doing regardless but we know that has not been the case from all these "Man vs.
Machine" matches.
