The
halfway point
The
first two games have both been drawn. Neither side has gone all out for the
win.
The contestants - at this point - seem VERY evenly matched. The idea that
all four games
could be drawn is not out of the question ... in fact it (now) seems very
likely.

January
29th, 2003: (Game # 2) I saw the first few moves of this game, then I
had to
run to go out for a few minutes. When I got back, I was distracted by work and
various
other things, and did not remember the game until much later. By the time I
signed back
on to ICC, the game was almost to move 40 - and people were already predicting
a
draw. It was a very tough encounter, the players seemed nearly evenly matched.
Thus
far - as both games were drawn - the program HIARCS-X is playing at a
2800-ELO
clip. Could this be a look into the future? Will computers get so strong that
the best
human players can only draw ... and then only if they play their very best
chess?

The
match was eventually drawn. See the ChessBase's web site

Man
vs. machine – but not Kasparov

Garry Kasparov battles it out in New York against Deep Junior, back in Holland
the world's number eight player, Evgeny Bareev, is playing a four-game
match against the English program Hiarcs. The first two games ended in
a draw, the next will bring the decision. You can watch them live on the Playchess.com
server. (From the ChessBase

October,
2004: Many "Man vs.
Machine" contests
have been held in the last year or two. Some have not been that big a
deal ... some have not really involved top GM's or were poorly funded.
(Others may have simply escaped my attention.) |
