Sam was sitting at the table with Don Dailey during that tournament.  Don told
me that in another game, Sam was positive that a human GM in the audience was
passing signals to their opponent during the game, and that they lost because of
it.  The "GM" turned out to barely be able to play chess, and was just there
because he saw the event on the ACM program.

met."  --  Don D.
