Yes, Eduard, aber Bob versteht ja gar nicht, daß Garry in Nummer 2 gewinnen
konnte. Er glaubt, daß Garry echt Glück gehabt hat gegen DJ noch diesen Remisweg

Yes Eduard, but Bob only sees that Garry could draw in Game Two, but not win.
Bob thinks that Garry was lucky in finding a way out in Game Two when DJ was
almost winning. <g>
