Chess and Chess Machines

Summary/Abstract: The world has always been interested in the struggle between man and machine: the chess-playing man and the chess-playing machine symbolize this struggle. The chess genius can represent the pinnacle of human intellect in the battle against the machine. It is in man’s nature to find it difficult to accept defeat. Somehow it seemed inconceivable that a machine, created by man, could defeat him. Mankind has followed with great interest all the events connected with this battle: the Kempelen-like Turk, Turing’s algorithms, and Kasparov’s battle against IBM’s super Deep Blue computer. It has got to the stage where the chess player uses the machine to defeat his opponents, unfortunately, often creating an unequal battle. The machine has beaten man, but not chess. Even supercomputers have failed to solve the chess game, although the way is given.
