Deep Fritz Draws: Are Humans Getting Smarter, or Are Computers Getting Stupider?
by   Ray Kurzweil



The Deep Fritz computer chess software only achieved a draw in its recent chess
tournament with Vladimir Kramnik because it has available only about 1.3% as
much brute force computation as the earlier Deep Blue's specialized hardware.
Despite that, it plays chess at about the same level because of its superior
pattern recognition-based pruning algorithm. In six years, a program like Deep
Fritz will again achieve Deep Blue's ability to analyze 200 million board
positions per second. Deep Fritz-like chess programs running on ordinary
personal computers will routinely defeat all humans later in this decade.
