Ray Glaeser is a pretty intelligent and calculating guy. He is articulate and considerate. He has been around for 30 years, longer than me. Maybe there was some simmering feud between him and Malcolm or something. He certainly doesn't want, nor would he look at the files of all matches Malcolm, Bill and Chris recorded this weekend.

This has to be some form of gamesmanship from him. I have found that there are certain people who just enjoy arguing, but I tend to just get mad. Maybe some people can take advantage of that, or imagine that they can, I don't know.

Ray is a particularly engaging fellow, exceptionally intelligent, and headstrong. He runs with David Todd, and they both used to hang with Joe Sylvester. David Todd may have been one of the best hearts players in the country at one time, and probably still is. They all play old style backgammon, on the pure side. Only recently have the even begun to consider what the bots think about the game.

David Todd won the tournament in his typical fashion: destroying people. I know, he destroyed me 3 of 5 times or maybe 4 of 6, I am not sure. He did not do it with a low error rate, I guarantee you! These guys are not intimidated by computers, and they are strong minded enough to go in a different direction WITH SUPREME CONFIDENCE. What is more they are smart enough to pull it off...

Something else was at work here.
