Yes, Wicc certainly exaggerated things. There was a complete lack of interest on one side, and a rather weak response on the other. And, in general, Alex has absolutely no desire to prove anything to anyone.
Actually, if we put aside the drama, I think the odds are about 40 to 60 against Gomunguls. This is if they play fairly and online. At Alex's place, his chances increase, I think by about 10%, because he's in familiar territory, while Vitaly is nervous.
The club is immediately ruled out for these and other objective reasons.
The real question is how to ensure a 100% fair match when playing against trans players online. No matter how you look at it, you need a referee. Who can we put in that role, someone who can sit through all the games fairly and who everyone absolutely trusts, and who also lives nearby? Besides Wicc, I don't have any real candidates (well, maybe Pete, but he's unlikely to be interested). The others are either friends with Alex in one way or another, or they're not interested/don't inspire public trust. And, of course, the same goes for Vitaly's side.
In my opinion, this is the main sticking point, not the amount of money involved in the game.
And it's a bit unpleasant to see this idol worship.
No offense.
