   What I would like to see one day and even participate in would be a BIG
corresponance tourny. No ratings, No consultaion rules, just a straight up
winner takes all tournament. I would be interested in seeing who comes out on
top, would it be the grandmaster with no consultation help (programs, friends,
etc..) would it be the straight program no human intervention at all, or would
it be the 1400 rated kid in his basement with all the top programs, books,
databases, and whatever else he can use to come up with the moves, hell why not
try the magic eight ball while at it. Entrance fee could be something like $100
per player 99% returned to the 1st place player, 1% to tournament director.
Winner takes all. Get a few hundred opponents thats a nice take home.


Also I would like to see.... With the rash of texas hold em no limit poker here
in the states on T.V. especially with the celebrity tournaments. I would like to
see 9 of the top grandmasters of chess sit down a play a texas hold em tourny.
It would be very interesting seeing there bluffing techniques. Who would you
like to see play at the table, past or present greats. I would have loved to see
Tal play poker I bet he would be an animal.
