Top computer programs clash in Elista
From the Sofia News Agency (http://www.novinite.com/view_news.php?id=79774)
Chess landmark Elista will see one of its most unusual matches in June when the world's two strongest chess playing programs will face each other.
Deep Junior and Deep Fritz will clash between June 6 and June 12, in a tournament sponsored by FIDE head, Kirsan Ilyumzhinov. The unusual tournament still doesn't have a name, but the prize has already been set - USD 60,000 for the winner and USD 40,000 for the software that triumphs.
The whole clash will be played in six games of maximum length of 75 minutes. The computers will have 5 seconds per move and in case the score in the end is even, there will be a tie-break.
Deep Fritz managed to outsmart Vladimir Kramnik in 2006, the year in which he took Bulgarian Vesselin Topalov's world crown in Elista.
