eh?  A phychiatrist is trained on humans. Since the "thinking" process of
computers is nothing like that of humans, his training will not have helped him.

I'm afraid I'm sceptical about this. IMO, to beat computers, what you need are
CHESS skills - not psychiatry.

If he really has found a strategy that enables him to beat top computers (which
I sincerely doubt), he should enjoy it while it still works - because it won't
work for long.
