Well said. I know money is very important, but its not the key factor. For example, while I was transmiting Russek's games against Rebel, Russek kept asking how many people were observing and, more significant, he asked three or four times "Do you think they are having fun?" When I answered positively, he smiled broadly and replied before going into thinking: "Lets get the fun going on". This reveals that at the core, fun and excitement are still the main factors, even when the players are pros (Russek is playing for free, "Just for the fun of it). > >>I think that seeing computer-human games is more interesting for the public then >>human-human games. > >Well, you could pit the GMs against supermodels to increase the interest of the >public.
