Thanks! Funny: I didn't clue in until I read Sylvia Nasar's bio of John Nash, the original A Beautiful Mind She included two anecdotes from his grad-school days that sealed my hunch shut:
- When Nash was ticked off at Stephen Smale, he solved ice down the back of Smale's shirt.
- Nash was an excellent Go player, but he lost one - and he walked away from the game crying.
I really must look into Go - have heard so much about it lately but I know nothing about it! I think an AI defeated the no.1 player not too long ago.
You're right.

Yes thought so:)
