How Much Money Would It Take To Make You Give Up Chess?

How much money would have to be offered to you before you would give up chess?

By "give up chess" I mean to get rid of all your books and chess sets and chess engines and chess stuff and chess trophies and Chess.com and never play chess again in your life. 

If you really enjoy playing and learning chess, i believe there isn't any money that make you stop with it.

Maybe $10000000000000000000000000000

$7500

well I think it would have to be 3000 dollers more than I have spent in my life =)

100M$, but it's negotiable if you're really motivated to have me quit

I would pay 500$ to anybody who can finally force me to quit chess.

$30,000 but only because I have an alternative.

Well, I have no books. No trophies. No engines. So, a cool million would probably do it.

Stratego?

I'll give you 500$ to make me stop playing this maniac game in tournaments... it's costing me so many saturdays...

50 cents

my alternatives would be duplicate bridge and money bridge

that would be my number as well

what better things do have to do on saturdays?

Well, hard to say how much money now. Because after some months I'd definitely try to find a way back to chess although it would be impossible.

Maybe 10,000,000€, so I would be able to live in a comfort my entire life, (unfortunately without chess).

Or I'd even accept an offer of 1,000,000€ + other benefits (e.g. "suitable" wife ).

Let's say about 100.000.000 € (or more if you really want to). With such an amount I'll find other ways to have fun and to give peace and happiness all around me.

To paraphrase Georges Simenon, the first who said the funny sentence : "Arrêter de fumer, c'est facile ! Je l'ai déjà fait des milliers de fois !" (More or less translation : Stopping with smoking, it is easy ! I have done it already several thousands of times !)...

Do all Americans express things in terms of money ??????

i think so. i want to go italy.
