Those of you interested in computer chess may be pleased to hear that Deep Fritz has equalised by winning consecutive games (5,6). The human, Vladimir Kramnik took an early advantage with two victories and two draws, but is put under pressure for the remaining two games.

The loss of game 5 was a blunder from the Grand Master, though assisted by thorough pressure from the computer. Game 6 seemed very exciting, as Kramnik took on the computer at its own game with intricate offensive chess. However, the computer defended successfully and managed to counter favourably after a swap of queens.
