Garry Karpov vs Anatoly Kasparov
Here are some interesting quotes (sent in by Michael Scheidl of Vienna,
Austria):
Simon & Schuster: Gary
Karpov: SEMI-CLOSED OPENINGS IN ACTION (INTERMEDIATE), Scribner Paperback
Fiction, 1990, ( $15.00 ) Hardcover, ISBN: 0-020-21805-2 GAMES/Chess
The Montclaire Times: At the precocious age of 10, Kevin Grant took
on World Chess Champion Gary
Karpov. Karpov was one of the best games that I can look back on.
I can see that Im much stronger now than when I played him, Grant
said. I was the second-to-last person to play him out of 40 people. He
ended up getting me at the end.
Professor Teodor C. Przymusinski home page: As it was vividly demonstrated
by the recent chess match between Anatoly
Kasparov and IBM's Big Blue computer, which ended in the defeat of the world
chess champion...
Nuestra Comunidad: "La única diferencia entre los sistemas
binarios de las computadoras y el razonamiento humano radica en el proceso de
reconocimiento de la información", aseguró el científico,
quien brindó un ejemplo muy ilustrativo de esto al recordar la derrota
del ajedrecista Anatoly
Kasparov contra un súper ordenador que tenía registradas en
su sistema las jugadas más difíciles del campeó n ruso.
Pero, cuando éste se dio cuenta de ello, en una segunda partida realizó
jugadas tontas que "tronaron" a la computadora, resultando vencida.
Wichita Area Skeptics Project: Deep Blue, IBM's chess-playing computer,
was finally able to defeat Anatoly
Kasparov, but only because of a "brute force" increase in processing
speed and memory.
And how about Kramnik? Three new letters (n, i, k), but still he hardly
fares better:
l'Hümanité: Shirov a gagné ce droit en battant Viktor
Kramnik en demi-finale WCC en 1998.
Chromefish: In 2000 the inaugural BrainGames World Chess Championship
was held between Gary Kasparov and Viktor
Kramnik.
Ah, well, it will all get much better soon, when Vassily Ponomariov becomes
world champion.
