BEIJING, April 23 (Xinhuanet) -- China's women's world chess champion Zhu Chen
will take on a Chinese-made super laptop in early June for a two-game contest.
The human vs machine contest is the first of its kind in China and a female
version of the famous showdown between Russian chess grandmaster Garry Kasparov
against IBM computers.
Zhu Chen will play against the Unisplendour Star laptop developed by
Tsinghua Unisplendour on June 8th and 12th in Beijing.
The laptop, claimed to be one of the world's most powerful chess-playing
notebook computers, will be released in May. And the contest will surely give it
enormous publicity.
Kasparov lost to IBM's Deep Blue in 1997 then tied with Deep Junior and the
virtual reality supercomputer X3D Fritz in February and November last year.
