Considering the expenses associated with entry fee, travel, lodging, food,
etc., I find it hard to believe that a USCF membership, which, for most
foreign players, can be obtained for as little as $36, is going to deter
them from entering this tournament. The $36 is the promotional membership
for players who have never been members, or whose membership expired in 2003
or earlier.

If you count politics as a sport, the answer is very likely yes,
assuming that he is eventually offered a decent shot at reclaiming his
title.

Fascism should rightly be called Connorism because
Fascist methods and ideology are best exemplified in the posts of
Stewart Connor. For example,
the blanket condemnations of classes of people such
as Correctional Officers and Republicans which Stewie makes harken
back to the yellow Stars of David and pink triangles that
the Third Reich used in similar condemnations.
The attempt to control the thoughts of the populace
by telling them whose opinions they should listen
to and whose opinions they should ignore is the
moral equivalent of jack-booted thugs wrecking the
offices of opposition newspapers in the chaos of
Krystalnacht. And in the calm assumption that
Stewie makes that his opinions and directives are
neither to questioned or doubted, but merely
accepted and obeyed, do we not hear the echo of a
shrill-voiced Austrian ennunciating the theory of
the Fuhrer principle? Furthermore, apparently Stewart
Connor has invented his own religion (loosely based upon the
works of Thomas Jefferson) in order to support his own ideological
beliefs, in much the same way as Nazi Germany came up with a new
religion to supplant Christianity. Finally, it should be no surprise
to anyone that Stewie uses the word "Jew" as an insult. Fascism
should rightly be called Connorism." -- Morphy's ghost

Good move by Garry!
During the announcement he clearly stated that the only professional chess event
he can be interested in, is WC match with Kramnik.
Fischer and Spassky got 5 million a decade ago, and now we can see an offer both
Kasparov and Kramnik just can't refuse. The waiting wouldn't last long. If the
match does not start before the end of 2006, I'll be really surprised.
Good move by Garry.
He just shows us an example on the subject of his new book "How Life Imitates
Chess" to appear by the end of the year.

What a pity. I wanted to see him and Karpov go at it again,
professionally. A great loss, if he sticks to retirement.

I see professional chess fading away into obscurity. The only names
in chess the average person has ever heard of is Kasparov and Fischer.
None of the other players will ever achieve the name recognition with
the general public. Especially with all the boring politics with the
world championship and the fact that there will never be another true
champion.

Don't tell the next Computer's mother (Mother Board) that her son Digit is
not a true champion. His dad Mr. C. P. U. may have a Word to say as well.
Garry probably saw the writing on the wall as well, as I did 20 years ago.

Point taken.
But still there is more interest in human vs. human clashes rather than
multi-microchips battling for rather unclear titles.
