I don't know what planet you live on, but the planet Kasparov lives on, there is no such thing as "enough of it" when it comes to money. This tournament might be really tough to win, and the games >against fritz would be stressful and boring. But Kasparov probably is not the >one who's so urgent to play in a championship match because of money. Kasparov is urgent to play a tournament, because the longer he waits to play a world championship match, the harder and harder it will be for him to firstly claim that he is (1)the undeniable best in the world and (2)that he is the world champion. Without the above two features his chances for securing big paydays decrease. He can't rest on the laurels of yesterday forever. Kasparov has huge financial obligations to pay. He has trainers, seconds, business managers, lawyers. A house he leases in "martha's Vinyard"(Haven for the rich and famous) for a fortune. A wife, a Kid in an expensive private school, his mother, several houses. Kasparov will not shortcut his ability to make money.
