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. Euro 2 4,90
