Don't Touch the Computer - Behavioral Scientist

Deep Blue's 1997 victory over world champion Garry Kasparov was the beginning of the end of mankind's chess dominance. A game once believed to be the pinnacle of human intelligence was being taken over by computers. In 2005--a mere eight years later--the world's seventh ranked player was thrashed by a supercomputer, managing only a draw over six games. And in 2006, world champion Vladimir Kramnik was defeated by Deep Fritz, a software program running not on a supercomputer, but a model you could purchase at your neighborhood electronics store. Today, the state of play is decidedly one-sided.
