In my experience ALL professional chess players are available to endorse ANY machine provided the payment is good enough.

They will endorse your garage door for a fee. To be fair, so will I.

A very generous offer indeed.
Perhaps we can trade.
I have a toilet paper used by Scarlett Johansen for just half a million dollars.
It is genuine and certified. No chess involved, though.

friends are bad business men regards
