Deep Blue

In an interview on Ukraine's Pershyi National TV channel, Andriy Slyusharchuk explained he played Rybka as Houdini wasn't released when he began preparing. Although he rated Houdini as better (more human), he said he'd only need a couple of weeks preparation to beat it as well! | photo: 1tv.com.ua

Sergey Shipov on Ukraine’s other chess genius

By mishanp on May 3, 2011

Andriy Slyusarchuk’s blindfold victory over Rybka last week earned him his 15 minutes of chess fame, which is not at all bad for someone who took up the game 8 months ago! GM Sergey Shipov has written surely the most eloquent assessment of the ‘trick’, and of the current state of man-versus-machine contests.
