If another player wants to get better conditions, it is his job to persuade the organizer of the value of choosing him in front of the cheaper player. Compare for example with the labour market in general. Western workers can complain how much they want about production being moved abroad where the work force is cheaper, but the employer will not care, if he thinks that the foreign workers provide the same output, but to a lower cost.<br /><br />I totally agree that the main purpose of playing competitive chess is to participate in tournaments. However, being paid for it, is a different issue. "The big number of amateurs" who don't want to pay for the IM/GM have every right to have this opinion. The IM/GM will have to find other amateurs who are willing to pay. And if he doesn't succeed, he will have to get a normal job... It's as simple as that in my opinion!Alexander Petterssonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599908893642961949.post-42551411611897737492012-04-27T13:33:39.566+02:002012-04-27T13:33:39.566+02:00Thank you Alexander.

There are definitely players who are anti-propaganda for chess and a lion part of responsibility for a bad picture of chess in today´s society lies on themselves. There are also luck of solidarity between players. For example, few of them can accept completely unacceptable conditions and will ruin everything for others. Organizers knows that they always can find these minimalistic players and they don´t put efforts to attract more sponsors. It is much more complex than just to blame one or other side. <br />It is also interesting to talk about what strong players has to provide in order to get well paid for that. Of course that no one is going to pay somebody because he is good at chess, but there should be limits with media exposure and exhibitions. We must not forget what is a main purpose of playing competitive chess and that is taking part in chess competitions.<br />Of course that some of strong players has a little more radical opinion, like "I am GM (or IM), and somebody should pay me for that" , but there are a big number of amateurs with opinion "You are GM, all right get a job, and play chess on your free time".Bejtovic Jasminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01852262134128863128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4599908893642961949.post-68269841970258224922012-04-27T11:56:29.202+02:002012-04-27T11:56:29.202+02:00Nice interview!

Regarding chess and money, I think the biggest responsibility lies on the professional players themselves to make the game attractive for sponsors. <br /><br />It's not an easy task, but in my opinion players who want to be professionals could try to be much more visible through different channels such as interviews online(this one is a good start!) and in traditional mainstream media, simultaneous chess events, lectures etc. Especially lectures for companies/schools/public bodies where one uses good chess as a metaphor for traits (strategic planning, analytical decision making, solving problems under time pressure etc.) which are useful in the outside world, is an area which I'm sure could be developed.<br /><br />If one wants to be paid for playing, it's all about getting exposure and providing value to the fans. No one is going to pay a strong player significant money just because he is good at chess, without getting anything in return. If a grand master is not ready to commercialize himself, he will just have to accept to be a (very strong) amateur...Alexander Petterssonnoreply@blogger.com
