I'm afraid I'm lacking on details, it was in a foreign country and every was speaking in a foreign language (Netherlands, Dutch). I was told that he was a professional. I'll add that the guy was being filmed, but for what I don't know. Anyway, he walked around twenty of us like the chess professionals, playing a move against each as soon as he arrived.
