Descrizione
From being little more than toys, in the late 1970`s, chess computers have risen to challenge the mightiest grandmasters on the planet. Kasparov himself narrowly succumbed to Deep Blue in 1997, but since then the champions such as Kramnik and Kasparov himself have held their own against the best silicon monsters. Then, in mid-2005, Grandmaster Michael Adams, a world title contender, was swept away by the all-devouring Hydra in a match which may well mark the advent of machine supremacy in the ultimate thinking game.
Raymond Keene is a British Chess Champion, and the first British Player to achieve a FIDE (World Chess Federation) Grandmaster norm. He was awarded the QBE for services to chess in 1985. He is Chess Correspondent of `The Times, The Sunday Times, The Spectator , and The International Herald Tribune.
He is a prolific author of chess books, several of which are classics of the genre. He has organised three World Chess Championships.
