I have a faint recollection of Fidelity throwing the final game
at some crucial computer tournament, way back when, against one
of its own machines so that it could claim to be the winner.

Triva question: anyone know the two machines that were running and
what tournament it was?

Bruce, any idea? I can't remember.
