Anand vs Fritz in Frankfurt A spectacular event will be held on June 20, 1998 at 8 p.m. in the City Hall of Frankfurt-Zeilsheim. A special multiprocessor verseion of Fritz5, runing on a Siemens Primergy, will take on the world's number two player in a rapid chess match. The match comes at the end of the strongest tournament ever staged, the "Siemens Nixdorf Giants", with Garry Kasparov, Vishy Anand, Vladimir Kramnik and Anatoly Karpov (June 17 to 19). The Siemens Nixdorf Primergy 460 is commercially available server with a dual Pentium II board with two 333 Mhz CPUs. Each has 256 Mbyte of RAM, which is useful, since at the expected speed Fritz will fill 200 to 300 MB of transposition tables between its moves. There will be live coverage of all events by the Lost Boys (www.lostcity.nl/chess/ccs/frankfurt.html), with daily wrap-ups and games on this web site (www.chessbase.com).
