That had to almost as scary as when in 1983 Mathew Broderick broke into WOPR at NORAD and almost set of WWWIII. Luckly disaster is narrowly averted when Lightman teaches WOPR to play tic tac toe against itself, resulting in endless drawn games. Realizing that the game is impossible to win, WOPR then cycles through all the nuclear war scenarios it has devised, all of which end with no winner due to mutual assured destruction. WOPR observes that " the only move is not to play" and simply ceases playing. Finally, WOPR decides it would prefer "a nice game of chess."

Hell I would piss on a sparkplug if it would help!
