The game starts Thursday at about 13:00 eastern.

Fritz to play White.

What would you guess the open to be played by the computer... what is in it's best interest, and what will Gary need to do to beat it.

Will Fritz start with a simple d4, or try something fancy? Will it play Gary's game and go Nf3?

i don't really care where it goes, as long as he loses because i would love to see him win.

Death to the machine!!

Fritz started with e4, but it wasnt his move. Anson Carter of the NY Rangers made the first move as some sort of "Celebrity" show of, I dont know what. He moved for Fritz.

I wasnt clear if he truly made the move, or was told to move e4.

At any rate, I was able to catch the first hour on tv. now i am just following along on www.clubkasparov.ru

Good real time analysis by Sergey Shipov.

Is it just me, or does chess seem easier when you are watching someone else play?

Still Learning,

After a difficult middlegame, Kasparov managed to more or less equalize.... but then blundered a pawn like an 1000 Elo player ... and resigned.

X3D Fritz - Kasparov 1.5 - 0.5.

Game 3. Move 19... I just got home and the game is no longer on TV... what gives.

I've got the game us at:

www.clubkasparov.ru

...but was wondering how it's going "in real life".

Hmmm. I'll go check again...

For some reason, they pulled the coverage. Periodic updates on ESPNNews channel.

pissed me off. I was enjoying watching them go at it.

A most bizare match. I can't pretend to understand it all but Fritz didn't seem to ever get it's 'head' around what Gary was doing and resigned with only 4 pieces off the board. Could anyone explain it to me? I know why the match was lost but there were many possitional moves that I couldn't see why they were necessary, and obvious attacks that must have been flawed because they were ignored.

The final game is today, I believe.

Here's the yahoo story on Garry's win.

ICC had the last game available for people to watch & comment, but there's no official commentry & the good plays comments get drowned out by the prattle of idiots.

ESPN stopped covering the last game (in favour of womens basketball), but that didn't really bother me as I don't get ESPN in Europe in the first place. I don't know if they're covering this one.

NB. please don't shout 🙂

If you watch the game on ICC,type 'set kib 2' as a command.Then you will only see the comments of titled players.
Makes a world of difference! 😏
