Man vs. Machine resulted in a tie.
on: October 19, 2002, 02:36:02 pm
from http://www.brainsinbahrain.com/:

The Brains in Bahrain Man-Machine match is over and has finished in a 4-4 draw, with two wins each and four draws. Game 8 was the shortest game of the match, a 21-move draw. The World Champion was unable to make any progress against Fritz's solid defense. It was a tremendous result for Fritz, particularly after starting out with only half a point from the first three games. Both sides said they would be happy to play a rematch.

Kramnik was the big favorite at the start and was disappointed at his failures in the second half of the match, in which he scored two losses and two draws.

He said that he had started with a lot of respect for Fritz and now he had even more for the program and the team behind it. How much respect? Well, the last time an opponent escaped from Kramnik with a 21-move draw with the black pieces it was Garry Kasparov!


For those who haven't heard, the Brains in Bahrain match was a challenge between the the Chess World Champion Vladimir Kramnik and the Chess Computer Champion Deep Fritz. Now, the Deep Blue program that beat Garry Kasparov was a machine the size of a room, and it was upgraded after every match, so it was kind of cheating. Now the Deep Fritz is a PC program, that you can buy for approx. $70 and fits on a single CD-ROM. During the match no changes to the program were made whatsoever.

So it looks like Machine is now equal to Man. Cool, huh? :)

NO! YOU FOOLS! CAN'T YOU SEE? Ten, twenty years from now, our own machines will TURN ON THEIR CREATORS, and, with the strategic knowledge we give them with our chess software, they will have what they need to TAKE OVER THE WORLD! We will be but pawns before the queen to their mighty chess-playing prowess! What is next- will they learn the terrible secrest of... Parcheesi?

In chess, yes. But when we get a machine that is "as good" as man in any variety of activities, I will be significantly impressed. Until then... meh.

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

yeah, most likely it shows that when the US goes to war against Iraq, they probably should let a computer handle the strategy.

Isn't it great when someone takes your joke and repeats it, only in a less funny way?

Don't you hate that? Isn't it annoying? I really don't know what's with those people, do you, Stealth?:p

I remember August 29th 1997 quite clearly. Me and the boys were sat in school, plastered with Factor 2000000 sunblock and poised to duck and cover at the slightest hint of a stealth bomber.
