I'm seriously interested (if it can be done profitably) in making my living in the future playing chess. I think an entity like the casino (blatant plug, see Jim's casino link http://www.thegoldcasino.com/win.cgi?2465679 ) could do this easily, and I would not mind if the entity took a bit off the top for costs, etc., so the players didn't have to trust eachother remotely. Sidd, you ROCK for making the SCI so easy. So does Hogeye, I think I need to click you both another gram or so, just for being DOers! :) My sincere thanks, without folks like you my job would turn from "cool" to impossible! If nobody else is thinking of doing one, I'm thinking of a paid, filtered e-gold list. In addition to reflecting my obvious biases, it would be free from thinks like users sending the same exciting message three times, the wonderful HTML formatted messages, and all the other bovine excrement we've seen here lately. I may as well profit from it, whether or not it drives intelligent users off. Sigh. I would charge a gram a year, please send me private email if you're interested (or if you think you'd maybe want to do this instead of me).
