Hello,

I am inquiring if anyone has any information on the show that I believe was on
Nova in the past month or so. The show demonstrated a chess match between Mr.
Kasparov and an ibm (??) system with multi-processors. I would like opinions and
feelings on this as well. If I remember correctly, the next generation of this
system is to have many more processors and attempt to beat Mr. Kasparov again.

So how do we all feel about having a computer become world chess champion or
possibly becoming world chess champion?

Did anyone tape this show?

You can send me email at either of the addresses mentioned below:
