His biographer, William Poundstone, says his ostentatious feats of calculation were notorious. At Princeton after the war - where he arguably outshone his campus colleague, Albert Einstein - von Neumann helped to design the fastest computer in the world, then demonstrated that he was faster. Nobody was surprised. His colleagues joked that he was a demigod who, having studied humans intensively, was able to imitate them perfectly. To tackle poker, von Neumann had to break new ground. There had long been analyses of games of chance using probability theory. Then there are games such as chess, which are strictly logical - albe
