The computer Deep Blue beat a current world champ a few years ago in about 7 moves.
Whoever has checkmate first.
the computer will inevitably win, they are only beaten when a default forfeit is set on them to quit if they have to do to many computations. Not to mention the best player ever known is alive and well… Bobby Fischer. just no-one will play a title match against him since his return.
I believe the compter would win, especially if you’re talking about Hydra or Rybka.
They might be able to manage a few draws here and there, but I don’t think they would win very many games against these monsters.
In a long match, the computers would have an advantage, since they would not be subject to fatigue.
I think guys like Lasker and Steinitz (as well as others like Capablanca, Alekhine, Marshall etc) could probably beat most of the good desktop PC programs, like Fritz, etc, even in a long match.
But when you’re talking about something like Hydra, with all the chess-specific processors, coupled with the fact that much chess knowledge ‘discovered’ by Steinitz, Lasker et al has been incorporated into these programs, the machine has a huge advantage.
Plus, computers like that can’t blunder in the endgame because of their endgame databases…
And finally, Hydra would not be intimidated ‘sitting’ across the board from Lasker, Capa, et al.
I’d be surprised if any of those guys would win more than one game in ten, but with perfect play, they might be able to manage a few draws…
The computer would win because the players would be 100+ years old and senile
The computer has the advantage of having the last 100 years of grand masters games entered into it’s data base. Chess seems to evolve through time.
But it is neat to think about the legends, taking on the hyper fast computers, with artificial intelligence over taking our Human “imagination.
It’s like Babe Ruth or Barry Bonds.
