I like how the organizer of the event (Jeff Smith) video recorded Kaidanov and Polgar's thoughts about each game afterwards. I thought that the first game was the most exciting game to watch.

Does any individual in Kentucky have $22,000 to put up as prize money to set up a match between 2 Grandmasters!? lol. It's hard to imagine anyone one person doing that like Jeff Smith did for the Kaidanov vs. Polgar match. $22,000 could buy a lot of chess books!
