il n'y a pas si longtemps, seul un champion humain semblait possible. Désormais, la machine l'emporte plus d'une fois sur lui. C'est un signe dont on ne peut méconnaître l'importance.
Computer checkmates chess champ

BONN, Germany (AP) -- World chess champion Vladimir Kramnik lost his final game in a match against computer program Deep Fritz on Tuesday, ceding a hard-fought Man vs. Machine series 4-2.
Kramnik, seeking a final win to level the match, played an unbalanced opening with Black. He built up a good position and equalized. But he then went astray, losing a pawn from which he never recovered.
The Russian takes home US$500,000 -- half of what he would have received if he had won against Deep Fritz, a commercially available chess program that runs on a powerful personal computer
