World
Chess Champion Vladimir Kramnik takes
up the challenge of facing Deep Fritz
the world's strongest computer program in
a six-game match to be held in the very prestigious Art and
Exhibition Hall in Bonn, Germany. Deep
Fritz will be running on a computer with a
Dual Intel Core 2 Duo 5160 system. Since the program has been
optimized for parallel processing, it will be able to respond
quickly and strike hard at a tactical level. On this machine, Deep
Fritz can compute around 8 to
10 million positions
per second. Kramnik gets 500,000
just for showing up to the match and another
half a million if he wins. Deep Fritz defeats Kramnik with 4 draws
and 2 wins. |
