Gary vs Fritz

Kasparov is playing another computer.

Apparently he is going to do it in 3d with voice commands. Will he be sitting there with those green and red cardboard glasses, shouting "No no! c5 not e5!"?

I watched the Kasparov vs Short matches on the telly back in the early 90s. Used to have to stay up to watch it because Channel 4 showed it around midnight. The commentary was what made it fun.

My first (and only) live match was Kasparov vs Kramnik in Hammersmith a few years ago. That was fun because you were so close to them and you could see the tension.

These upcoming matches seem much more accessible than the earlier Deep Blue games, but it could be just because access is easier these days.

There will apparently be commentary available, and I hope there will be a screen where you can see their analysis on a board. I wonder if we'll see another surge in interest in chess after this.
