First Kramnik vs DeepFritz, In Progress

An anonymous reader writes "Reigning world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik played the first match in a series of eight against the world's strongest chess computer. 'After the game Vladimir Kramnik said that he was never worried about losing the typical Berlin endgame that arose in his first game against Deep Fritz. The World Champion is the master of this line and Fritz was unable to take advantage of the white pieces.' There is live coverage of the event at the main website." We've mentioned this match a few times before.

Skip the hype

This is NOT a man Vs. machine matchup in any way. This, like all the previous ones, is between the human chess player and the human computer scientist.

Just because a computer can multiply two large numbers faster and more accurately than I do, does not prove that it is mathematically superior.
