Bob all you have to do is to turn this into a U.S.A. versus Europe thing and
you'll have plenty of big sponsors wanting to lend a hand :)

Time for a cold war of computer chess perhaps, I bet something good would come

I agree with Uri here, I think Crafty is favorite at 10:1 but not a super big
favorite.

At 100:1 I'll be truly surprised if Junior wins a single game.
