"Reigning FIDE world champion Rustam Kasimdzhanov is scheduled to play an interesting man vs machine match on June 21. The opponent is the "AI Accoona ToolBar". The event is being staged by search engine company Accoona, known for a number of chess spectaculars in the past and with big chess plans for the future. The venue? It's in the middle of Times Square in New York, the Crossroads of the World." "The match is between the 2004 winner of the Tripoli FIDE world championship, Rustam Kasimdzhanov of Uzbekistan, and a new kind of chess engine – one that has been specifically developed for play against human beings (as opposed to countless games against other chess playing computers)." While there's a plethora of information concerning the Adams/Hydra match, it seems there's little information to be found on the details of this match. Is there no one here that can shed some light on the hardware/software Kasim will be facing and exactly who it is that's been working on its development? Even a link (besides the one at Chessbase) would be appreciated. http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=2392
