World Chess Champion loses to computer
Reigning world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik was beaten today by computer Deep Fritz in a 6 game chess match. Kramnik lost 4-2 against the machine which he had previously beaten in 2002. Apparently programmers might now move onto creating computers to play poker at a high level - after all, there can't be that much more for the chess computers to conquer.

My neighbor of 10 years (tenant actually) & I have played @ LEAST 500 games in the past 3 yrs. now, & are "neck & neck" literally, dead-even. Well, I am "up" on him the other day, 2 games, but he can get those back easily & usually does.
We are starting to 'burn out' to it, but it's an awesome game... I recommend it to ANYONE who likes to game, because it's NEVER THE SAME GAME TWICE!

* I would love to see the "short-circuit evaluation" If-Then-Else nest for the Chess AI for the program used, lol... it must be MILES deep, I would guess!
