Hey Jules, maybe this is what's holding up IBM's stock price. :-) IBM computer evens chess series NEW YORK - IBM's Deep Blue computer beat world chess champion Garry Kasparov on Sunday, tying their six-game series at one each. Kasparov resigned after the computer's 45th move, which had positioned Deep Blue for a winning endgame. The game lasted just short of 4 hours. The 34-year-old Russian defeated Deep Blue in Saturday's opening game, when the computer resigned after Kasparov's 45th move. Sunday, the computer played the white chess pieces, giving it the slight advantage of making the first move. Joel Benjamin, a chess grandmaster who consulted with the IBM team, was exultant. "I feel great. This was a game that any human grandmaster would have been proud to play. This was not computer chess. This was real chess." Kasparov beat the computer last year and says that barring human error, man always will be better than the machine at chess. But IBM technicians said they had improved Deep Blue since the last match. It now can examine an average of 200 million positions per second. Game 3 of the match is scheduled for Tuesday and Game 4 on Wednesday. Games 5 and 6 are Saturday and Sunday. The winner takes home $700,000 of a $1.1 million purse. By The Associated Press ______________________________________________________ I think the real story is that a man can actually still compete with a computer and the processing power of today. Speaks wonders for this Grand Master Kasparov. Michael
