It is not clear to me why Xie Jun did not agree to play via telephone. She says it was to avoid the possibility of cheating on DJ's side. But clearly someone was making DJ's moves manually over the Internet. How else could this Kd8 mouse slip have happened? So what was to prevent the person from cheating? Even if a human wasn't making the moves manually, cheating is obviously possible. I suppose it's possible that Xie Jun does not understand the technology involved at all, and does not know any better. But I think it's more likely that she was just trying to be difficult. Other than this detail, her story sounds very compelling. -Tom
