The omputerphile Youtube channel did a video about 10 years ago about "The Great 202 jailbreak:" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVxeuwlvf8w A few years ago, a friend of mine gifted me a copy of the book they were working on that lead to that hack, _The Sicilian Defence_, for which Ken Thompson designed what is considered to be the first chess font. I'm not a big chess player, but it is still a neat piece of history. -- Michael Parson Pflugerville, TX
