A few years ago, I managed to persuade an IM to play Genius 3 from a crazy
position (far more wild than a back row shuffle). He protested, "This position
doesn't make any sense", but I got him to do it anyway!

As the game progressed, he started saying, "the position is starting to look
more sensible now".

Organisation soon arose out of chaos.

In the end, he still thrashed the computer thoroughly.
