      Players below 1000 elo can't follow Simon's tactics in a blitz game. They would have to replay, pause and think, but they are watching at 125% speed and missing out all fun.
      So the audience is limited to about 15-20k.

    The world 200th best player never made good money in any era. The difference is that in 1980 when I started, that 200th player was an IM, the 10th best player in the world was hovering around 2600. The GM title does not mean what is used to.
