For the past few years, the battle between humans and computers continues. Until now, a single question remains in many grandmasters and advanced players from around the world. Who will win the battle between humans and computers? It’s been a decade since a hi-powered “Deep Blue computer” won against the international master Gary Kasparov in a real chess match, but then, many of us are still wondering about this issue. Computers have been created because of man’s innovative thinking. But then, how come computers seem to be more intelligent than man? On the first place, we have the advantage because we are living in this world for many years compare to computers which are only recently created. Is this the product of man’s thinking, to create a machine which is better than his mental ability?

Unlike, the traditional on board chess before, now chess can be played using electronic chess boards and high powered computers. When it comes to chess, the wrong perception still remains on our minds. According to many computers are no much to humans when it comes to playing chess. For the second time around, we get the wrong idea about computer’s real ability. Although, they can’t come up with their feelings and emotions, No doubt about, computers are still the winner in the game chess. These days we have the latest super chess computer beast “SPACE TECH”.
