Deep Fritz has tied the score in its match against human chess world champion Vladimir Kramnik. Fun story. (via robotwisdom)
my favorite part:
This is how Grandmasters often lose to computers. They get great attacking positions that just too complex to play against a program like Fritz that is seeing three million positions per second and can defend perfectly. You only need to miss one key move to go down in flames, and today that's just what happened to the world champion. As commentator IM Malcolm Pein put it during the game, "I cannot understand why Kramnik should throw away a nice steady advantage on a madcap idea like this. This is no way to play against a computer!"
