NEW YORK
'Virtual reality' match begins
NEW YORK -- Chess czar Gary Kasparov yesterday took his "man versus machine" challenge into cyberspace when he started a series against the computer X3D Fritz without a chessboard.
The Russian-American is playing four games against X3D Fritz at the New York Athletic Club, but he is resigned to the fact that soon chess grandmasters will stand no chance against computers.
Mr. Kasparov, 40, is wearing 3-D glasses, gazing at a chessboard that appears to float in the air, dictating the movements of his pieces with voice commands.
The International Computer Games Association and the United States Chess Federation are presenting the first chess challenge fought "in total virtual reality."
