World Computer Chess Championships Underway

Posted by timothy on from the hushed-crowd dept.

azaris writes "While the FIDE World Championships for human players in Tripoli, Libya are down to the last two contestants, the computers are playing their own 12th World Computer Chess Championship in Ramat-Gan, Israel. How will the open source chess engine Crafty do against the proprietary closed engines? Will the computers play more interesting chess than their human counterparts?"

    while Qaddafi banned Israeli players from the FIDE championship

    It's even more ironic that you bitch about this while 4 million Palestinians are imprisoned by the brutal, unconscionable and illegal Zionist occupation of their country.

    I don't invite war criminals to my home, neither does Qaddafi. Good for him.
