Kramnik recently lost to Deep Fritz.
Given the fact that it's only a matter of time before even grandmasters will not be able to beat the simplest chess programs, I think we've had our little experiment.
We need to get rid of computers now and focus on humans playing chess again. This game is ours. WE made it, and WE love it. Not computers. Computers don't give a damn about chess. What are we trying to prove when we play against the computer?
Chess was always about the thrill of meeting a mind across the board, a mind that played by the same rules. None of this matters with a computer. We should probably still use it for training in tactics, but we should not endorse World Champions like Kramnik playing chess against a computer. It demeans the game we all love. Do you agree?
