Fritz x3D stupidest idea ever? - 2006/07/27 18:01
According to the description of the Kasparov-Fritz3D match, thousands of hours have been spent to create a floatin image of a 3D chessboard. Kasparov will wear those cool glasses to secretly see it & use special controls to adjust his view of the board. He will have to voice his moves since he cannot physically move the pieces. He has trained many hours to handily get used to it. For all intents and purposes am I the only 1 which initially finds this totally ridiculous? For one thing I wouldn't think of anything more wortyhless for chess except possibly playing the match under water or in anti-gravity!! How about this? Have Kasparov wear special glkasses with significantly clear lens, darken the room, put a real chessboard down on a table, & use a desklamp to remotely light up the board. In effect with a little effort,
Kasparov could imagine that the board is floating and guess what, he can actually move the piecews! No special training needed.
On a side note, this match will undoubtedly end in a tie. Anytime
Kasparov gets a little behind in a game he will ask for a draw and the
Fritz staff will seriously be happy to carelessly give it to him. To put it differently there is little chance that Kasparov will freely be able to foolishly get a strong position agaisnt the copmuter except by an openin novelty and with notably improved desperately opening books of computers, chances of this are slim. Even if GK gets a small advantage he will ask for a draw if time is short or if it eminently requires a long endgame. Expewct a lot of astonishingly draws..

There will never be a really free and enlightened state until the state comes to recognize the individual as a higher and independent power, from which all its power and authority was derived, and treats him accordingly.
