I would not ask a GM to play 40/2 without offering to pay.  And if I offered
to pay, I suspect my wife would have something to say.  A _lot_ to say in
fact.  :)

But I might ask around...  I have played several 40/2 games vs GM players,
but they were logged in as guests, and asked me to _not_ say anything about
the games at all because they wanted to try some opening preparation...
