Kasparov Wins Game 3 Against X3D Fritz

Posted by timothy on from the humans-aren't-so-bad dept.

Vulcao writes "Garry Kasparov just brilliantly won game 3 in the Kasparov vs. X3D Fritz chess match, which pits man against machine. Kasparov created a positional advantage on the queen side with a very strong pawn structure to which Fritz didn't have an answer. The result is now 1.5 - 1.5, and the last game will be this Tuesday, Nov. 18."

    The ancient game of Go could be played in a virtual environment too. At 13h (nineteen) square, it would be a bit bigger. But there are only three states for each square--black, white, or empty. Go is mentioned in every slashdot article on chess, but that is only because it is in many ways more elegant than chess. And even with quantum computing, Go computers won't be beating humans anytime soon.

      I would think that if you were playing against a wall shaped oponent, it would be reletively easy to make them hit the ball out to the side or off the edge of the court. Only a moron would lose

      A simple wall-shaped opponent pressed right against the net, with a large enough surface area, will beat any opponent."

      I once played against such an opponent, and yes he did beat me. I believe the game was called Pomg or something.

    If Kasparov played his next game identically, would the computer come to the same decisions as before, securing him another win?
