Yes, I also remember the allusion to cheating he made because neither Fritz nor
Hiarcs could reproduce some of the moves DB had made, no matter how much time
they spent. Clearly he thought that DB was some enormously souped up version of
a PC program, but I doubt he came up with this concept on his own. His
unwavering conviction of this lends one to believe that this had been told him
with little margin for doubt.
