"On a related note, a tournament held this weekend in Lincoln lost the
principal organizer over $200.00 as the turnout was only 10. There were more
trophies than there were players. This person can ill afford to lose $200.00
and I suspect this may be his last attempt to organize
adult chess events as well." (Bruce Draney)

Bruce, Bruce, Bruce,.. don't worry about a thing, lad. Kevin Bachler
assures us the capitalist model is the way to promote chess.
Hey, what's 200 bucks to a chess capitalist, huh? I hear rumors that at
least 75 chess capitalists are gathered in western Iowa just waiting to rush
into Nebraska with fists full of money for chess. It's the 'Merican way. You
know, chess capitalists are really gonna drive adult OTB far in this country.
In a few years chess capitalist will have driven adult chess all the way to
within a 50 mile radius of New York City.
