On Wednesday, world chess champion Garry Kasparov tied Deep Blue, the IBM supercomputer that can examine two hundred million positions per second, in the fourth game of their six-game series.
Earlier in the week, Kasparov admitted he committed a catastrophic blunder in game two, when he failed to force a draw by moving rook to E8. Opting instead for a Caro-Kann Defense, that soon transposed into a Pribyl defense. Which, after Deep Blue moved bishop to E7, gave him the advantage with his ninth position.
With all due respect to Mister Kasparov... what the hell were you thinking?!?
We have picked @64Podcast as the winner of our competition! Congratulations!👏
The winner has given us a crazy idea which we will do our very best to execute in the future!
Thank you to everyone who participated. Stay tuned for a new competition coming up very soon!
@GothamChess In Copenhagen you MUST visit bakeries. Juno the bakery, Sankt Peders Bageri, Andersen Bakery come to mind. I recommend trying the cardamom rolls there.
It's always nice to walk around The Lakes in central CPH. Also recommend you visit the chess club in Østerbro! Have fun
