| 116890 | 2003-01-28 09:48:00 | What ever happened to timed moves? DEEP JUNIOR was beaten by humanoid Garry Kasparov in the first of six chess games yesterday against the cyberplayer . Reports said that Kasparov won the game after a queen-queen swap, and early in the game he caused "Deep Junior" to pause for 25 minutes while it contemplated the significance of one of the humanoid's moves . Either that, or it was having a severe identity crisis . Kasparov was thrashed in 1997 by IBM computer Deep Blue, and claimed at the time that human beings were whispering suggestions into its data registers . If he beats Deep Junior in the six match tourney, Kasparov will collect a cool $300,000 from the World Chess Federation in addition to the half million bucks he gets for just moving the bits of wood about the 64 square board . Cheers,Kiwitas,;-) |
