Computers have permeated almost every facet of modern chess, yet few players
know how to gain the maximum benefit from working with them. Computers function
as playing partners, opening study tools, endgame 'oracles', tactics trainers,
sources of information on opponents and searchable game databases. Kongsted
provides practical advice on how to use computers in all these ways and more. He
also takes a look at the history of the chess computer, and how its 'thinking'
methods have developed since the early days. The book features an investigation
of human vs. machine contests, including the recent Kasparov vs. Deep
Junior and Kramnik vs. Deep Fritz matches, in which honours ended
even.
Christian Kongsted trained as a journalist at the Danish School of
Journalism, and is an experienced chess writer. His correspondence chess rating
is over 2500, and his Elo rating is over 2200. He has been interested in
computer chess ever since he got his first chess computer at the age of eight.
