How much would you pay to play Carlsen in a simul?

I would pay him $100 to play Houdini3 and then bet the rest of my money on Houdini.Watched him on the Colbert report, he was as dry as a stale cracker. Would pay Fischer way more.

You would then be playing against a corpse.

I wouldnt pay a penny. But if they pay enough, I would consider playing.

Carlsen would have owned Fischer's ass from here to Reykjavik...

I don't think I would enjoy a game of which I knew my opponent was forced to play it. Carlsen or not. So it would be wasted money anyway Wink

Nada. I would sell my liver to play against Botvinnik, though.

Not in the 1960's. He would be helpless in age where opening theory was just starting out and where one had no computer analysis to rely on.

Let's be honest, Carlsen is a by-product of the computer age. If Fischer had the same exact benefits, he would be a God.

I wouldn't pay just to play Carlse, but I would pay $50 US currency to play and have a group lesson with him, and $100 US currency for a game and private lesson.

Money has more value to you when you have to work for it.

rascalnikov

$50 is the _average_ cost of playing ANY grandmaster in a simul....

TetsuoShima

why pay for getting beaten, i might as well just get a domina for that.

it depends, if you make a lot of money, well you dont worry about spending money i guess.

There would be no point in me playing Carlsen since I'm simply not strong enough to even make a game of it.  It would be a waste of time for both parties.  If I feel like getting destroyed in a game of chess I can always fire up Houdini for a few games.

i think so too, i mean im not a carlsen fan yet but even if i were i would find it pretty embaressing to play against a super GM.

TetsuoShima

but damn i would have paid a lot to meet Bobby Fischer still. Shame he is dead and he died before i could ever meet him.

TetsuoShima

even though it sounds somewhat logical, i still dont like picasso.

2600$ I wouldn't spend on chess, if I had to spent that kind of money I would go on vacation 2 weeks somewhere warm maybe Italy.
