Subject: A New Era in ComputerChess...

"My match with Deep Junior is the beginning of a new era in computer chess. Both
sides were under strict supervision and every aspect of each game was recorded.
As a result, we can see the strengths and shortcomings of the machines, and of
ourselves. This marks an important shift in the history of computer chess. We
are now moving away from corporate interests -- i.e., Man vs. Machine matches as
PR for companies like IBM -- and toward fair and documented procedures overseen
by the World Chess Federation.
[...]
What makes this new era so exciting is that there are many programs using
different techniques that produce distinct styles. Deep Junior is as different
from Deep Fritz as Kasparov is from Karpov. Chess offers the unique opportunity
to match human brains and machines. We cannot do this with mathematics or
literature; chess is a fascinating cognitive crossroads.
