- <p> Gary Kasparov overcame the computer chess champ Deep
- Thought, wiping out his switched-on opponent in a Manhattan
- match, but the triumph by the world's top player could be
- short-lived. Deep Thought has already beaten several grand
- masters, and a more powerful version could be ready in three
- years. "Chess is wider than just calculations. You have to use
- fantasy, intuition and some kind of prediction," said Kasparov.
- And he's prepared to take on a new, improved computer adversary:
- "I would have to challenge it in order to protect the human
- race." That's one move for mankind.
