Kasparov & Machine

My most liked sport is chess , and the best sports i play is chess. This is recently about the match between Kasparov and X3d Fritz which ended in a game of draw. Still considering the fact the emotions run in human mind compared to the pure rational computers , i would say Kasparov won .

Playing with humans , there is a disctinctive advantage , because you can capitalize on the opponent facial emotional expression. Kasparov himself is known to have provoked reactions with his opponents , by abruptly getting out or slamming the doors to create a psychological impact to the opponent. I think however the beauty about him with Fritz was he was given completely new gadgets, 3d device where he could get a 3D image of the board floating actually between his eyes and the computer screen and he did pretty well under the time pressure with them. Playing with computer you cant afford to make mistakes , unlike with human , where there is a chance to recover by forcing the other human to make some mistakes during the course of the game. All is about strategy! strategy! and understanding how the computer was programmed. I was told that Kasparov did get a chance to look at all the previous games played by Fritz in his database before the start of the game. Vishwanathan Anand where are you! proud to say he is the world rapid chess champion and third after Kasparov , Kramnik and i studied in the same school and he was my senior.
