OK. I will take that bet. As I understand it, all I have to do is
score 2 out of 5 to win the match. Correct? Let's make it $100.

Where will we play this match? I would prefer game in 30 giving us
time to write down the moves so that we can publish them here.

The other player was very weak, the game not worth posting or looking
at. The only thing of note is that after I played 2. .... f6 he
commented, "That is the worst move on the board", but then he did not
take the pawn.

Anyway here is the game, but please do not bother to play it over.
