Chess Champion Loses Match to Computer Tuesday December 5, 2006 11:16 PM BONN, Germany (AP) - World chess champion Vladimir Kramnik lost the sixth and decisive game against computer program Deep Fritz on Tuesday, ceding a hard-fought Man vs. Machine match 4-2. The Russian takes $500,000 - half of what he would have received if he had won against Deep Fritz, a commercially available chess program that runs on a powerful personal computer. Kramnik said he was ``a bit disappointed'' and expressed hope that a rematch could be arranged in a year or two. ``With more time to prepare, I still have a chance.'' With a computer that calculates millions of positions every second, ``there are always certain threats,'' Kramnik said. In October, Kramnik defeated Veselin Topalov of Bulgaria, becoming the first universally recognized world chess champion since 1993. --- On the Net: rag.de chessbase.com
