I love the comments to the article. There are only a couple of good chess engines.

A quote from the 2006 World Chess Championship:
"After each move Mr. Kramnik immediately heads to the rest room and from it directly to the bathroom. During every game he visited the relaxation room 25 times at the average and the bathroom more than 50 times - the bathroom is the only place without video surveillance."

Start with Chapter 5 , he replied he drinks a lot water during a game and he liked to walk in the bathroom ....everyone can draw his own conclusions, but clearly, this is along the lines of "If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck..."

The quote is from 2006 World Chess Championship and Mr. Kramnik .
Kramnik is not the GM in the subject.
