Kasparov vs. Deep Blue

Chess is an ancient game. It has been around for centuries as THE game for rest and relaxation, as well as mental stimulation. With the age of computers, the question became: can a man beat a machine, or will a machine always beat a man.

Today’s site will let you see for yourself the latest attempt to answer this question. It is a site dedicated to the Gary Kasparov / IBM Deep Blue computer match. As of today, it is even at one game apiece, with Deep Blue taking the 2nd match. This site is a celebration not only of this match, but the game of chess as well. There is a pressroom, a video clip of the day, and send email to the Deep Blue development team and Club Kasparov. You can also check in on the planned strategies of both camps, and visit other chess related sites as well.

Hurry and visit the site. Game 3 starts today, May 6th at 3:00pm Eastern Daylight Time (1900 GMT). It will be fun to watch this historical series of matches as they happen. Enjoy the trip.
