Bad Beat in Chess?
Where did all those chess experts go?
I bet on Kramnick +0.5 +226 in his six game match against Deep Fritz 10 (a computer program). Given the rules of the match which are clearly designed to help Kramnik, I figured the match was likely to end in a draw. Now I don't know much about chess, but from what I understand Kramnik was never in danger of losing game 1, which did end in a draw. In game 2 he would have to play black, so I was interested in seeing if he could draw again. Well the game ended with Kramnik making "a colossal blunder that allowed checkmate on the move." http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2006/...many_Chess.php Another quote: The blunder, which Seirawan called "a tragedy," was one that even the weakest amateurs would not ordinarily make and almost unheard of at this level. Was this some kind of fixed match? Assuming everything is on the up and up, is there any way for Kramnik to pull even? I just don't know if anyone can do more than draw a computer, even with white pieces. You can replay the game here: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=3509 The ending is a joke - a one move checkmate!
