World chess champion loses match 4-2 to Deep Fritz computer
| Quote: |
World chess champion Vladimir Kramnik lost the sixth and decisive game against computer program Deep Fritz on Tuesday, ceding a hard-fought Man v. Machine match 4-2.
The Russian took US$500,000 - one-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 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.

| I find that both kinda thrilling and sad at the same time. It`s amazing what we can do with technology now, and it`s only going to get more and more mind blowing. But it kinda takes a bit of the mystery out of chess... |
