This is, what the Babelfish makes from the German version. It isn't real good English, but I think, you can make sense from the text: ------------------------------------------------------------- Karpov ready for the duel with "Shredder" In coming the week it comes again to the duel world champion against machine: The acting chess champion Anatoly Karpov meets the at present play-strongest PC chess program. Differently than its professional colleague Kasparow measures Karpov its forces however not with a sophisticated supercomputer à la Deep Blue, but with commercial hardware and the commercial chess program Shredder. The software had achieved the world champion title in June with the Computerschach WM in Paderborn on a " transtec-d1300-Rechner ". The hardware was based on standard PC components; in the inside a Pentium III processor operated. The duel of the world champions is to rise on Friday next week (9 July) on the " Chess chess-Meeting ' 99 ", a tournament of the category 19, in the Dortmunder opera house. ------------------------------------------------------------- You will find more info (in English) at the following page: http://www.computerchess.com/news_e.html You have to scroll down the page until the "10.06.1999" entry.
