It's the worst kind of sore losing, because you can't really insult IBM as some
sort of faceless corporate entity, what you are really saying is that Hsu, Tan,
Benjamin, and whoever else cheated.  Even if you want to just label it "IBM",
there are real people whose integrity you are questioning. He beat the damn
thing in the first match! If IBM was so scared of losing that they would cheat,
they never would have held the first match to begin with!  He choked in Game 2
with f6? and then missing the draw, and choked enough later to lose the match.
No fanciful, insulting excuses necessary.
