Let's say it was a 15|10 game

I take the money. Besides, if Magnus falls for such a mate in one, it is probably a blindfold bullet simul...

the only way he could fall into the mate is, like you said, blindfolded, or prearranged, rigged, or your just using an engine

I don't think he'd blunder mate-in-one with an engine though. 

I mean, he'd get mated eventually, but do you mean straight-up blunder mate-in-1? Or do you mean just get into a position where the opponent has mate-in-one?

exactly, he'd just resign to not have as much embarrasment

I would probably do enpassant but only if he agrees not to resign and gives me 4 million dollars and purposely get in a position where he blunders enpassant checkmate and he doesn't tell the public he did it on purpose and its a uscf tournament and i get an extra 50,000 dollars.

Um...obviously the $100k. Beating Magnus is worth $0.

I'd give a dime for it.

You don't get anything for it. Your brief little ego boost to yourself, that nobody cares about, is worth $100,000 to you? That's insane. 

i'd rather have some fame than money

Why on Earth would you take fame over money? Now that your the guy who En Passant check-mated Magnus you would have to perform again and there's no way anyone here could perform against Super-Grandmasters, 100 grand easy pick

Take 100k, stuff it up my pocket, and then get good enough at chess to beat him anyway.

money doesn't buy happiness, im not trying to get 100k to spend on stuff to make me happy, im simply trying to enjoy life to itz fullest

100K

money cant buy me happiness but it can give other people a better life

and whats the point of fame? u get one news article by chess.com and then thats it...  Do something useful for once rather than just putting on the sunglasses for the cameras.
