Man Vs Machine In Chess - Who Is Winning?

Posted by simoniker on from the autobot-or-decepticon? dept.

Since computers have been steadily improving and are now holding their own against the very strongest human players, one would think it may be Fritz. Not necessarily, says statistician Jeff Sonas, who doesn't believe computers will inevitably surpass the top humans, and presents empirical evidence to support his claim as part of a series of articles for ChessBase."
