ecify　（between　half　a　million　and　two　million　US　dollars）　you　will　know　where　to　find　me　…　although　it　seems　far　from　realistic　to　me。　I　am　easily　satisfied　and　ready　to　consent　to　all　conditions　that　you　consider　acceptable。　Unfortunately；　your　statement　that　you　will　refuse　to　play　in　China　frustrates　in　advance　any　of　my　attempts　to　find　a　sponsor　in　my　home　country。　Hence；　I　am　forced　to　leave　this　job　to　you。

There　is　one　thing　I　would　like　to　add。　After　us　there　will　be　a　ninth；　a　tenth；　and　many；　many　more　Women's　World　Champions　in　chess　history。　The　title　does　not　belong　to　anyone　in　particular　and　should　be　defended　over　the　chessboard；　not　in　the　courtroom。　Admittedly；　the　current　situation　is　unsatisfactory；　but　adding　insult　to　injury　will　deter　rather　than　attract　any　future　sponsors。　If　you　are　genuinely　interested　in　promoting　chess；　and　women's　chess　in　particular；　then　you　should　do　your　best　to　ensure　we　can　play　at　the　chessboard。　You　will　have　a　major　advantage　in　preparation；　as　there　is　no　database　showing　any　of　your　games　in　the　last　three　and　a　half　years。　On　the　other　hand；　if　you　have　decided　not　to　take　up　playing　serious　chess　again；　then　just　admit　it　and　stop　making　excuses。

1999：收復失地（8）

I　do　not　expect　a　personal　reply　to　this　letter；　since　I　intend　to　keep　myself　busy　with　more　meaningful　things　than　practice　English　prose。　Just　inform　me　when　you　have　found　a　sponsor　that　suits　your　conditions。
