If he knew anything about computers he would have known his game
setup in game 3 was a 100% sure zero. I can't remember i *ever*
drew a similar setup where i gave the thing options to either
win queen side AND attack my king. You kind of *force* them to
attack king side, which nowadays they all do.

Which in fact happened. With the known result.

Any person who knows something about computers is not forcing them
into a kings attack which is good.

Loek obviously tried this setup the first time in his life, otherwise
he would not have chosen it.

so the assumption he knows something about the thing is exaggerated.

All he knows is that it is a machine.

I bet he never installed Rebel Century, but only Rebel Tiger. I didn't
figure it out either until Jan Louwman told me Rebel Century was still
alive :)
