No need to visit the toilet! I suggest that Chessbase should start a new
service to modify fillings in teeth to receive sound signals. You will
recall that Fischer had all his fillings removed because he knew the
Russians were beaming waves at him through his teeth. Presumably they were
advising him to play weak moves.
There would be an inital dental charge and then a monthly subscription. The
amount of the subscription would depend on whether a player wanted to
receive only the best moves, or the moves and current score for the
position, or some other service such as all the openings data for the
opponent from the current position. The subscription could also vary
according to the current ranking of the program being accessed.
Revenue streams would be:
1.. Commission on the dental fees.
2.. Subscription income for receipt of moves etc.
3.. A percentage of prize money won.
4.. Bonus payments when a subscriber gets the FM, IM or GM title (etc.)
For suggesting the idea I should receive 5% of Chessbase's net income from
the scheme. Please ask your patent agent to resigister this idea. I suggest
we launch the service in New York later this month - they have plenty of
dentists there.
