The players will play in different rooms and an operator will go between the rooms to do the moves(the operator can be computer in order to give the moves in 0 seconds). Every round will be a random pairing so the players cannot know the opponent in the last round based on previous games. The humans will know that there are prizes for the first place for humans and that in every game the chance to play a computer is 1/9(assuming 10 players) Uri
