Here is what I wrote about the case back in January on my Blog I found the story interesting for 2 reasons. First, the Times reports: .Robb was an expert in game theory, a complex melding of psychology, human behavior and economics . all aimed at determining what one.s adversary will do next. With that background, police say, Robb may have thought he could outsmart them.. Although the police claim that his efforts to outwit them were amateurish.
