(John, you may be too young to grok the reference. Ask your parents.)
For those of you still watching, you may recall last fall was scheduled
a chess match between the top human player and a computer, this time
on an ordinary workstation with commercially available software. The
match was postponed because of the WTC attack. The match is back
on now, still in Bahrain, set to begin 2 October.
Those in the know say this workstation/Fritz7 combination is stronger
than IBM's Deep Blue, but Kramnik is much stronger at anti-silicon
play than Kasparov was even in his prime.
