This was my first thought when I read the OP...
More info:
Quote:
The Chinese Room argument, devised by John Searle, is an argument against the possibility of true artificial intelligence. The argument centers on a thought experiment in which someone who knows only English sits alone in a room following English instructions for manipulating strings of Chinese characters, such that to those outside the room it appears as if someone in the room understands Chinese. The argument is intended to show that while suitably programmed computers may appear to converse in natural language, they are not capable of understanding language, even in principle.
Basically, if Varrus is Chinese Rooming the Chess game it means that he is following instructions from an outside source to make it seem like he knows how to play chess, when in fact he has no clue.
Impossible to prove one way or another without more proof (ie, webcam aimed at his computer and his face). Even then it could still be faked.

Jophed,
I am an expert; why would I need to run a program?
Would you like to see?

Yes, Johpiel.
Allegory,
When I move I move quick. You would be able to tell if I was running another program to see how I should move. All this talking...why not test me and see.

I'm at work, so no. Maybe this weekend. You'll almost certainly beat me as I never play but at least you'll have bragging rights that you defeated a guy whose last game was a year ago against a nine year old.

Thats what she said..
On a serious note, I would play you but it wouldn't be a fast game by any means. I spend too much time thinking ahead. Drives husband crazy.
As for Monoply I'm there!

Nope. Posting numbers aside, I'm typically alt-tabbing between here and several work-oriented tasks.

No premium so I can't "quote" Samira's pic, but during a family scrabble game with my brother and I my father threw ***** up on the board. I laughed hysterically and when my younger brother asked what it meant he impersonated Bill Cosby for five minutes until he stopped asking.

It is impossible to know with any certainty. If I could know with certainty I would immediately accepted the offer just to test my guess. I'm far more interested in my ability to accurately access your personality than I am in playing a game I haven't played since 3rd grade. I'd lose to anyone who has played the game intermittently.

I have a handmade set in carved onyx that I bought in Mexico about years and years ago.

That or the front window of the tobacco shop. I never could figure the connection between tobacco and pewter fantasy figurines.
