Men vs. Machines

Three strong grandmasters, Veselin Topalov, Ruslan Ponomariov and Sergey Karjakin are challenging three of the strongest chess programs, Hydra, Junior and Fritz in Bilbao.

The results of the first round are surprising (for me):

Junior - Topalov 1/2 - 1/2
Ponomariov - Hydra 0 - 1
Fritz - Karjakin 1 - 0

The machines lead with 2.5 : 0.5 !
