Then go up the thread and read how I described it.

I'm not buying your "I don't follow". This must be the third or fourth time we
have debated this in just over a year. You understand my point perfectly. I've
been through several times where you obfuscate with some crafty irrelevency, and
claim that I'm talking about that, and I explain that no, etc., which is useless
because next time you will again pretend not to have heard it before and to
understand what I say.

Rather than continuing to play this futile game, why don't you do to DejaNews
and read ? I've nothing new to say here, and neither do you.

I just want to tell this newsgroup about one interesting item from past debates
about this: We have Bob Hyatt's opinion that the printouts PROVE cheating. How
so ?

Bob made it known on r.g.c.c. that if in fact cheating took place, it would be
evident from the printout, and there would be "zero doubt about that" (his
word). I asked, what he would expect to find if foul play indeed happened, and
he went on to describe EXACTLY what the printout indeed shows for move 36 (move
changed after search stopped).

I wouldn't go so far as to call it proof, Bob. Let's give IBM a chance to put
forward an explanation.
