Yeah. It's a very old trick, predating Derren the Twat by many decades. I have this book by Weinstein where he claims it was once played on Lasker and Capablanca in correspondence chess, and also that he and a friend once tried to pull it on Dus-Chotimirsky in a simul - and failed because one of them jumped the gun and made a blunder.
If Derren really manages to pull that stunt in this day and age, it says nothing about himself; all it proves is that commercial British "reporters" are even dumber than those of Auntie. And who are those "grandmasters" who fall for it, and why haven't they had their titles revoked yet?

Ban?

Is that what they're calling it now, or did you leave off a letter?

When is Nostrabobby back?

This thread is hilarious........ but is missing an input:

Input is the term denoting either an entrance or changes which are inserted into a system and which activate/modify a process. It is an abstract concept, used in the modeling, system(s) design and system(s) exploitation. It is usually connected with other terms, e.g., input field, input variable, input parameter, input value, input signal, input port, input device and input file (file format).

Input may refer to:
Advice (opinion), an opinion or recommendation offered as a guide to action, conduct
Information, any data entered into a computer or data processing system, see input output
The act of entering data into a computer or data processing system (see Input/output)
Input device, any peripheral (piece of computer hardware equipment) used to provide data and control signals to an information processing system (such as a computer)
Stimulus (physiology), a detectable change in the environment that influences an activity of an organism
Power consumption, an amount of power used by a system
International Public Television Screening Conference, an international public television organization
In economics, a factor of production, a resource employed to produce goods and services

My own thoughts, of course!
