Yup. Watching a chess match is a bit like watching someone

wire
a tree.

Exactly right! Fascinating!

Actually, one can learn a GREAT deal by watching an adept wire

a tree.

Actually, an "adept" would merely say "Shazam!" or something, and
lo, the tree would be wired. ;-)

But if wiring turns your crank, have at it and watch away. I
know how, but I hate doing it, so I usually go to the next demo
room when the wiring begins (where -- almost always -- they're
doing the same thing!) ;-)
