It's a pretty sweet computer chess tournament going on to figure out the top computer.

I think it's fascinating since it gets about as close to perfect play as we can get, and yet there are still interesting and dynamic positions.

What do you guys think of computer chess?

Also i want to see more humans match wits against the computers like Nickel did.

I've watched some of the games when it's been played in the past. For me personally, it is incredibly boring.

Watching computers play chess is about as exciting as watching fork lifts having a weight lifting competition ...

I thought the best Centaurs are stronger than engines alone, or have I got that wrong?
