There may not be many, I think that was recognized upfront - but if there  is
free money on the table if - say 3 just play - they all get at keast $200.  We
will have at least 3 titled players.

Basically the titled playes do not play computers on ICC anymore.  They play
each other.  TMany of us who have in interest in chess computers, would like our
machines to play  GM/Ims - that makes it interesting for us.  Although much
smaller scale, it is basically the same reason why so many chess fan across teh
world were interested in GK vs Deep Blue -  - mankind vs machine is  a classic
human confrontation.
