I recall making notes after someone claimed that it cheated, and found
that it was indeed honest - maybe people who play against a computer
program that's not so good are quicker to accuse it of cheating when
it gets lucky more out of wounded pride! I watched mloner have an
exceptionally lucky streak recently, and not a whisper of suspicion... 8-)
