    And in the aftermath, did Magnus drop a hint that a worthwhile charitable contribution might be the sponsorship of one or a series of chess tournaments? Nooooo? Well too bad. This is one bloke who could afford it.

      1.e4 Nc6 2.Nf3 d5 3.Bd3 Nf6 4.exd5 Qxd5 5.Nc3 Qh5 6.0-0 Bg4 7.h3 Ne5 8.hxg4 Nxg4 9.Nxe5 Qh2#

      It's a game I guess.

        Whaaaaat? Associate the Microsoft brand with geeky nerds?

        Actually, after losing this match in a fit of laughter, Bill got into his limo, made a few calls. Within an hour came the news: FIDE was now bought out by Microsoft Corp. All operations will be moved to Redmond WA and Steve Ballmer will be in charge. First order of business: allow computer engines, including Houdini, Stockfish, and Rybka, to participate in the Candidate's matches and all other FIDE tournaments and events. An entire building in Redmond will work on a new chess engine that can run in an XBox 360 and has the goal of "5000 ELO And Beyond!"

        Goodbye Magnus. You taught Bill a chess lesson, and now Bill teaches you a real-world business lesson.

        Bill always gets the last laugh.

        But really.... all the above was just a daydream Bill had on his way to the airport. He started verbalizing it, getting more and more animated and angry... and then Melinda gave him THE LOOK.
        Only the rushing is heard...
        Onward flies the bird.
