Very funny. It was quite the opposite and you insistently changed the subject
everytime your arguments ran out of fuel. Bob no doubt remembers as he was a
participant.

Understand them? The issue is how they prepare and not whether or not I
understand them. I described what I know, that is all. So did Bob for that
matter. You want to believe that all GMs only play moves they have studied in
great depth for themselves, but you are wrong, that's all.

He doesn't believe, he knows. Don't confuse belief with knowledge.

No, you didn't. You just said he was wrong. That's hardly a refutation. You say
this because you clearly can't believe it. I understand, but the facts are those
all the same.

No, I didn't hear stories, I saw this happen many times. You can argue all you
like, but it won't make your beliefs true. Bob said it and it's true. I saw it
myself and know it for fact. There is nothing subject to discussion in this.
