The story is told of a lady who came to the apartment of a young man and found him sitting at a chess board. On the other side of the board sat his dog.
    "What are you doing?" the lady asked,
    "Oh, playing chess with my dog," he answered.
    "Can he play chess?" asked the lady.
    "Sure. His former owner taught him how to play. Watch."
    She watched while the young man and his dog pondered and moved the chessmen.
    "That's amazing," said the lady, "Amazing.  I can hardly believe my eyes. That's the smartest dog I've ever seen."
    "What's so smart about him?" replied the young man. "I've beaten him four out of five games."
