@the-gravedigger saidMy chess rating pre-transplant was 1098. Post-transplant it's 1120. Whole different ballgame.
Even if FMF had died he would have come back as himself.
Unless dive got bored doing the brain transplant and didn't connect up some nerves that he should have done. Or the nerves had snapped off while FMF was in the freezer. Then FMF would have been a shambling automaton and obviously not himself.
