Spock vs Computer

In which episode did Spock play chess against the computer and won a few times? I remember this clued Spock in on a solution to a problem.
 
^^ “Court Martial.” Spock's ability to beat the computer at chess, when normally the best he could hope to achieve would be a draw, clued him in to the fact that someone might have tampered with the computer.

Never mind that there's no reason why the computer’s surveillance and record-keeping functions should have anything to do with Spock’s chess program.

Thanks. Maybe they are tied to the same subroutine.
 
Or Finney couldn't do the reprogramming without screwing up the other systems. Maybe Finney wasn't that great of a programmer.
 
I still like the look on his face when the computer in STIV asks him "How do you feel?"
Or the expression on his face when Nomad said that Spock's thought processes were more orderly, he looks at Kirk with an expression of "See, I told you so."
