http://www.chess.gr/ http://www.blackqueen.net/news/2002/korinthos_rapid-games/gur-jun7.html An interesting event will take place this week in Korinthos. Its protagonists, two Grand Masters and one “war chess machine”. The protagonists will be the Belgian Mikhail Gurevich, Grand Master of international fame (No 47 in world rating – ELO 2641), the Greek Champion Christodoulos Banikas, and the mighty chess program Junior 7. Both meetings will be extremely interesting since Gurevich will have to confront all mighty Junior, who will “run” on a Pentium 4 at 2000 MHz and RAM 1 GB! The second meeting will be a battle between two champions with excellent scores at rapid games. The Greek Champion Chr. Banikas has a remarkable knowledge of challenging chess programs like Junior, with whom he played a series of 4 games last year. The schedule will unfold as follows: 13-14/5/2002 Chr. Banikas vs Gurevich (six rapid games – 25 minutes for each player) 15–18/5/2002 Gurevich vs Junior 7 (four rapid games – 60 minutes for each player) Also, a simultaneous game of the two Grand Masters vs 20 up to 30 persons has been scheduled. All games will be broadcasted by chess.gr live on the Internet and at the same time they will be projected on screen for all attendants. should be a good match. will be interesting to follow. good luck to Amir Ban and Shay Bushinsky. kburcham
