Kramnik vs Deep Fritz. A Brain Games Event
The Royal Meridiene July 31st saw the announcement by Brain Games Network of a Man vs Machine match which they claim to be the sequel to the Kasparov vs. Deep Blue match in 1997 (see James Coleman's report). The Braingames Man Machine Match between Vladimir Kramnik
and Deep Fritz in Bahrain has been delayed until early 2002 has been postponed
in response to last week's terrorist attack on the United States. Sir Jeremy
Hanley, Chairman, Brain Games Network explained that "Just as similar
international events throughout the Middle East and the rest of the world are
being postponed, we too felt that it would be inappropriate to proceed with the
match during a period of such concern and tragedy."
