Bobby's right! I'm sure they use computers to calculate the elo's of all players
in each chess organization, and then to set up the tournament matches, record
results, print standings, etc.

In the old Soviet chess system, the games results were sometimes pre-arranged
(very quick draws in some international tournaments when playing another Soviet
player).

Bobby may feel that the moves are "beautifully pre-arranged", simply because
chess has moved on, while poor Bobby has been stuck in neutral (reverse?).

I think Bobby means a stress analyzer. Lie detector's don't work from a recorded
voice.

I believe Garry's dentition is in pretty good shape, actually.

Like the movie "A Beautiful Mind", but without the happy ending.
