You should copyright this story as soon as possible. Somebody in Hollywood sure
would make a lot of money by producing this movie!

However I'm not sure Garry would allow this... Just change the scenario a little
bit: in the end the machine admits that the humain brain is superior and goes
back to computing rocket trajectories. Then Garry fights against Fisher in a
standard match, and the movie ends on the first move of the first game: 1.e3.
