OK. I agree to everything. Check with Ken Thomas to see if he can do it
and if his son is really capable of broadcasting the games on ICC.
Ken's son is not very strong at chess, so I wonder if he can really do
it. Remember that Vince Hart made a serious error in broadcasting the
games of my Grudge Match against Bill Brock and so messed up the game
for the spectators.
Vince Hart reported that I had played O-O-O, whereas I had actually
played Rd8. Much later in the game he realized his error and had to go
back and figure it out.
It is a trip of more than two hours from where I live to Ken's house
but I guess if I get an early start I can do it so as to pick up an
easy $150.
