Kasparov’s revenge

After Kasparov’s humiliating defeat against href="http://www.research.ibm.com/deepblue/">Deep Blue in 1997
and Kramnik’s draw against href="http://www.chessgames.com/player/deep_fritz.html">Deep
Fritz 4-4 last year, humans are in the lead again, as the still
number one human player defeated href="http://www.x3dworld.com/Entertainment/CI_X3DEvnt_DeepJunior.html">
Deep Junior, the reigning machine chess player, in the first
game of a 6 games match. You can see how the game went href="http://www.wired.com/news/feature/chess/game.html">here.
A nice overview of the match can be found href="http://www.chessbase.com/columns/column.asp?pid=145">here,
and this is my favourite quote:

He also said that the software will be held to
“tournament standards,” meaning if it crashes or has any other
non-hardware problem, that’s tough luck. Since “crash” and
“Windows” are almost synonyms these days, the Junior team might
consider having Bill G’s number in their speed-dialer.
