Vladimir Kramnik is beating the latest chess super-computer in Bahrain as you read this. This time, the UK company Einstein is sponsoring and bankrolling this event, as well as promoting it like a WWF super-match.
It lacks the gee-whiz quality of the epic “man vs. machine” battle but, it is interesting just the same. I remember following the Kasparov vs. Deep Blue matches in 1997 live from the IBM website. For some reason, it was absolutely thrilling to me. Not quite the same here but, you can follow the match live as well.
