OT: Enter the Matrix: Computer beats Kasparov at Chess |
Neo has lost to Agent Smith: a computer has defeated Garry Kasparov,
the world's #1 ranked chess player, at a game of chess. The overall
tournament ended in a draw. From:
http://www.x3dchess.com/news/reportgame4.htm
Nov. 18, 2003 Game four ended in a draw and with it the X3D
Man-Machine World Chess Championship match also ended in draw. X3D
Fritz won game two, Kasparov won game three, and games one and four
were drawn. Kasparov receives $175,000 for the result and also takes
home the golden trophy. (Although since it drew the match X3D Fritz
said it was going to store a virtual reality copy of the trophy for
itself.)
Before today's critical final game Garry Kasparov said he just wanted
to play good chess and that he didn't consider it a must-win. "Of
course I'll play for a win if I get chances, but with black it is very
risky to push too hard. I'll play the best moves." Today the best moves
led to the shortest game of the match, a 27-move draw that ended in a
completely simplified position without chances for either side.
Kasparov won the second, and the last two were draws.

"New X3D Fritz is faster, smarter, and a whole lot better looking."
Next he'll be coming for your girlfriend with some really smooth
pick-up lines.

An accomplishment to be sure but a minor one. When someone can write an AI
which can consistently beat human players in a multi-player luckless strategy
game (like Diplomacy) then I will be impressed. To this point every attempt (to
my knowledge) has been a utter failure or was reliant on fudges or cheats.
