A 15 game match would >be nice...is this possible or am I dreaming. (an uneven number of games for a match would be very uncommon) On a distant horizon, I can imagine anything. But you would need a good PR person with many contacts, to convince big companies that there is a big advertising value in such a match. Maybe computer manufacturers, web companies, a hotel group which offers rooms to play and for the press and live audience, etc. may be potential sponsors - or maybe not. To get a famous GM to play (and even more for such a long match!) will require much money, probably in the range of $ 100.000+ Also, you need to find people who can create a professinal web coverage incl. live transmission, which would not be cheap either. But it is possible - as we know because it has already been done in the past a couple of times. It is "just" :) a question of finding capable people, money, location, and a top GM who wants to play a hopeless match... Regards, M.Scheidl
