Kasparov vs. Deep Junior
By admin | June 21, 2007
Rousso is very active in International Chess, having sponsored several World Championship Matches; and is close with World Champions Kasparov and Karpov.
Rousso is widely credited for his ongoing efforts in promoting Chess throughout the World, and has generously donated his time and money to develop Chess programs for children. Experts widely agree that Chess aids in the development of cognitive thought processes in children’s education.
On January 5th, 2003 Armand’s current company X3D Technologies helped organize what was dubbed a chess match of “man vs. machine”. Chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov was pitted against a machine built by IBM, Deep Junior.
Both Kasparov and Deep Junior won one game each and drew four. The match ended in a stalemate and some critics say Kasparov “played it safe”, perhaps because of his previous defeat to Deep Blue.
