At that playing strength, Andsacs even might generate its own opening book. The idea would be that during offline book preparation, Andsacs could invest a lot more thinking time that in the match, therefore coming up with better moves. In the actual match, it would save thinking time for later.
The most crazy idea would be renting some cloud capacity. The cheapest options where capacity is not guaranteed (because it is excess capacity) would do the trick because it doesn't matter whether it takes two weeks continuously or a month with interruptions.

It is the result of so many authors. Maybe it was already answered, but I couldn't find it.
Any prize money that Stockfish might win, will go to the Stockfish team, or a charity of their choice. When the tournament is over, Pete Cilento of chess.com will contact them in regards to this.
If Fire wins any prize money, it will be given out as Chess.com premium memberships via contest, random drawing, or something similar.
