'First Official World Chess Championship' ... in "virtual reality" ;-) http://www.x3dworld.com/about/news/standardpr/x3dfritz.html http://www.cs.unimaas.nl/icga/ "The match has been sanctioned by the International Computer Games Association (ICGA) and the United States Chess Federation (USCF) as the First Official World Chess Championship Man vs Machine in total virtual reality." Seems that even Chessbase feels uncomfortable with this artificial title anymore, only "The Kasparov-X3D Fritz match". http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1142 but http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1119 Gerd
