You've convinced me; I concur. I've removed the flub. She still would have needed a heck of a lot more time to analyze the position, but we'll give her the benefit of the doubt.Jay-Firestorm wrote:Also, regarding the chess debate, I personally don’t regard it as a flub – I think Ms. Jones, who has been proven to have a very good memory, could easily have remembered a sequence of moves without (consciously) knowing the rules of the game.
She should have hit the chess circuit instead of pushing paper at the "Hall of Records".
Thanks!
