(maybe I should be putting this post in one of the "climate change" threads....)
Here is a Youtube video of the game, played in Naples, Florida, in the Collier Automotive Museum. It cost $1,000 to play in the simul; $5,000 to play Gary blitz.

Proceeds went to an orgainization called "Revere America" http://www.revereamerica.org - here is their mission (did the fact that Marc is an MD attract him to this event and cause?):
"Revere America is an organization dedicated to advancing common sense public policies rooted in our traditions of freedom and free markets. These guiding principles will once again make America secure and prosperous for generations to come.
Our mission is to harness and amplify the voices of the American people to give them a greater say in fighting back against the threats to freedom posed by Washington elites.
Since its unfortunate passage in the spring of 2010, we have helped lead the effort to repeal and replace Washington’s big health care reform law. Over 1.1 million people have already joined our cause, but our work has just begun."
"What We Support"
"The goal of Revere America is to support an America governed by a center-right philosophy. An America that lives within its means, balances its budgets, and takes steps to reduce its debt. We work to create a government that is representative of the American people, not indicative of which special interests currently have the most influence or who has given the largest campaign donations.
We believe America’s health care system should be transformed, but in ways that preserve incentives for hard work, innovation, freedom of choice, and the doctor-patient relationship. Cost controls should reside with the patient and doctor, not with a federal agency.
Our country’s medical liability system should be reformed, so that it fairly compensates those injured by negligence while promoting patient safety and medical innovation.
Americans should be proud of our government programs that provide a safety net for the disadvantaged. But, these government programs should be the last resort, not our first response to any crisis.
Revere America fights to protect the American ideals reflected in the Declaration of Independence and Constitution from the ideologues who believe they know what is best for Americans and American families."
