| It was actually very clever. The advertising was for Monday night's
lecture on the playchess server, and it was indeed well attended.
What he had done was find two games, one Saidy-Fischer 1968, and
another Karpov-Bellon 1972, that reached the same position after 23
moves. So, in a sense, it was Fischer playing Karpov. Fischer won,
Karpov escaped witha draw. This was revealed at the end of the
lecture, and billed as an early April Fools, 'kind of.'
Some people got fairly upset. I actually found it a fairly
entertaining lecture.
