I watch chess on yahoo once in a while (used to be very active, but no longer
play there. I remember often after watching a big time match end I would
challenge the winner and his response was "OK, hang on I have to reboot (maybe
it was reload) my computer". I have always wondered why they did that. It was a
often thing done by various very competative players (chess programs).
Why ?, this related ?
Thx
