Line 484:
** A dealer droid seen in the [[X Wing Series]] is mentioned having "cheater prods" that are used on, what else, cheating players. This may be more of an example of the Computer ''Stopping'' Cheating Bastards.
* In a season 3 episode of ''[[Lost]]'', Mikhail says that the computer cheats at chess.
** That doesn't stop Locke from beating it anyway (and [http://gallery.lost-media.com/albums/ep-caps/season3/3x11-77/3/enter77-604.jpg if you notice]{{Dead link}}, he didn't ''actually'' have a checkmate, it could have been blocked with two pieces, but if you follow White's best-case scenario, he'd have lost in two of Black's moves, anyway).
*** Maybe the computer resigned, though this would be unusual for a computer. A checkmate would have been notated as Re1# (or maybe Re1++ ) instead of Re1+.
* This is part of the premise of Extra Mode in ''Phantasmagoria of Flower View'', the 9th game in the ''[[Touhou]]'' series. In Extra Mode, the AI opponent is invulnerable at the start of each stage, until a timer runs down to zero, with the timer getting longer in each successive stage. To compensate, it is also on an [[AI Roulette]] and extremely weak, so it will usually die within seconds of the timer running out.
