Ten "Would You Rather?" Questions

Just for fun:

1. Would you rather draw all your games or win half of them (in a tournament with even rounds & players of similar skill strength)?
2. Would you rather beat twenty IMs or one GM?
3. Would you rather play in summer or winter?
4. Would you rather play in a local tournament with friends or in a foreign tournament with strangers?
5. Would you rather break a tie using 'Chess960' or 'Take Me'?
6. Would you rather win a spot on a national team or receive $5000?
7. Would you rather attend a tournament in your pajamas or swimwear?
8. Would you rather go without chess books/software for a year or go without chess-related websites for six months?
9. Would you rather play without knights or without bishops?
10. Would you rather live next door to Kasparov or Anand? (or any other GM of your choice!)

I'll let you know my answers later this week :)

...and maybe post some more!
