Sixty years ago, Alan Turing sat down to write a computer algorithm which could play a human at chess. Sadly, he never got to see it running on a computer, but now it's been coded up and who better to pit it against than Garry Kasparov?
It's Alan Turing's 100th Anniversary today. Interesting for me, since I live near Bletchley Park where he worked during the war. I recommend a visit there, its becoming something of a tourist attraction now after years of obscurity

This weekend we and Kasparov celebrated the centenary of the birth of Alan Turing , one of the great geniuses of the twentieth century and one of the fathers of computing and artificial intelligence.
