Quite an amazing coincidence, that you were playing one of the fastest searching chess engines and I was running against the fastest man alive, whose world record of 19.32 seconds for the 200M will stand for quite some time. Even more amazing was that I won the race. A couple of caveats. I had on sneakers. Michael work steel-toe boots. And a full standard miliatary backpack and rifle. And he ran backwards, I ran forwards. And I had a head start. On my 5th attempt, he was finally tired enough that I won.
