Moore was too focused on just avoiding checkmate to pay much mind to Smiley's off-board behavior. He ignored Smiley's frequent tap-tap-tapping away on a handheld Dell computer. Smiley had been given permission to use the device to keep a digital record of each move — but only for that purpose.ooooohhhhh - permission, but ONLY for that purpose, darn it!!
So of course they were completely floored when dude was cheating the whole time:
Instead, a screen popped up for a program from the Fritz line of so-called "chess engines." These are super-smart, user-friendly apps able to analyze the positions of all pieces on the chessboard and consider millions of possible outcomes in a matter of nanoseconds before suggesting the best next move. By pushing all the right buttons on a good chess engine, any Kardashian sister could conceivably checkmate Fischer.Yes, what a mystery. Allow computers into the game, and someone might use one to cheat. Gee. "Yes Jimmy, you may drill a hole in the girls locker room wall, but ONLY to see the inspirational posters on the lockers!!!!"
