chess in art


Thanks for the Marcel Duchamp videos, ready-mades and all, he's one of my favorite artists (after Sophie Tauber Arp and Max Ernst). You might (or might not) be interested on my site about Chess and the Surrealists, which focuses on the Imagery of Chess show back in 1944-5 in which Duchamp performed an integral part.

Duchamp? Looks like this guy: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaMA8LWW3C0
Maybe they're the same person?!?!?!

Can we use a computer?
Just don't say that word Andy... Don't say it! Kohai screens the forums for the c word

Nowadays, computer cannot be analyzed that kind chess playing. The guy sitting on the chair will probably win the game becuase he has more solider to work with.

Is it from Irvin Gorin?
