    PARIS, FRANCE. Upon hearing news that "Kramnik Ties Fritz; Machines Not Yet Our Masters" France surrendered all cash assets and welcomed their new overlords. France was quoted as saying, "please be gentle"

    Chess is nothing. I'll be impressed when an A.I. chat bot can talk a girl into a date. This would be a tool every slashdotter could appreciate.

    There was a young Russian named Kramnick
    Who at chess was just real frickin' slick,
    He came back in a blitz
    But could only tie Fritz
    he exclaimed "just a tie, and my wallet's so thick!"

    (sorry)
