Tired of seeing sweaty brutes kick each other's behinds? For a real change of pace, ESPN2 is covering the 2003 Man vs. Machine Chess match between Gary Kasparov and a program called X3D Fritz. On move 16, Gary spent 20 minutes considering his move. Fritz spent all of one second considering a small move of his rook. The crowd went wild.

It's about time 'geek sports' got some attention, and some crowd involvement.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
