The story of this game :

In 1968 a group of 10 AI supporter bet with David Levy that 5 years later
computers will be able to defeat him in a 6 games match. David Levy, very
kindly, lengthened the period until 10 year. Each AI supporter bet 250£ and Levy
2500£.

David Levi was rated 2380 the 1 january 1971, when the Elo rating was created.

In 1978, the match was played, the score was : =,+,+,-,+ (3.5) for Levy

The report that I have here say that Levy took many risk in the 5th game ,may be
to relaunch the suspense ...
