Which game do you think he cheated in?  Surely not all of them.  I'd be happy to
look at one of those games with a computer.  I looked at them with my eyeballs,
and one of the games looke like a typical human attack.  The one that was a win
was definitely a human at the very end, since a computer finds a faster mate in
KQ vs K.  A human in a hurry or without much interest in being optimal plays
that more systematically, and that's what was going on at the end of the game at
least.

I read Mr. Koss' account of the game, and his thinking sounds like human
thinking.  He grabbed onto the tiger's tail and tried to hang on, and ended up
surprised that he was not eaten and that the tiger had exhausted itself.
