JetSolo Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Haven't played myself in a while. It is actually an interesting show with announcers that simplify it for those that aren't the most keen to chess. Kasparov is apparently playing the biggest game of his life, vs a machine. His last biggest game? In 1997, vs another cpu, in which he lost and has been embarrassed by it since. Anyhow, the game moves along at about 3-4 minutes per turn, and Kasparov is playing really aggressively right now. It's a best of 3 thing I believe - the first being a draw.

JetSolo Posted November 13, 2003 Author Share Posted November 13, 2003 And just as I posted that, they switch to tennis. They switch back to chess in a little bit for those that are dribbling with anticipation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NASMTrainer Posted November 13, 2003 Share Posted November 13, 2003 Agressive and chess, not 2 words I would use in the same sentence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetSolo Posted November 14, 2003 Author Share Posted November 14, 2003 The computer. Kasparov made a huge blunder in the end. If you go to the Fritz X3D website, it shows the whole game. Anyhow, I find it interesting and disturbing that the computer is beating the smartest human chess player in the world. Before long, machines just aren't going to need us humans anymore.

Brave Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Bring back the Poker tournament. I could watch that all day (and will be playing in quite a sizeable Hold 'em tournament tomorrow night)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ancalagon the Black Posted November 14, 2003 Share Posted November 14, 2003 Cue in Matrix theme music. Actually, I think it's a great credit to the programmers of the machine that they could create an algorithm for chess strategy. I believe it's been proven that chess is a "solvable" game (White always wins), but the solution would be too large for any foreseeable computer to contain. The computer has provided the calculating power; the programmers made the strategy. It's a triumph of human ingenuity taken step-by-step over human ad hoc creativity, in my view--not machine over human. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
