Alain Robbe-Grillet which you may as you are good at French). And, of course, being who you are, you assign anthropomorphic qualities to wooden or plastic boards with lots of electronic circuitry. Which is exactly my previous observation ==> being carried away ==>equals thinking of dedicated chess computers as almost real human chess players.
