Atticus History - Part 3: by John Carleton

Sensational archive material has recently been released by the British Library, and, as with all documents relating to the noble game, a priority copy was promptly forwarded to the Club in recognition of the high esteem in which we are held throughout the academic world. Here is an extended extract from the most exciting document, one which casts new light on the origins of Atticus.

Linares, 12 -25 February

Linares Chess 2010  

This year the Linares tournament involves just six players, two short of the usual eight. With Corus ending in late January and overlapping with Gibtelecom perhaps this is not so surprising.

 

Speculation last year that the event would be shared with Dubai in 2010 has come to nothing.

 

Players: Veselin Topalov, Levon Aronian, Alexander Grischuk, Francisco Vallejo Pons, Boris Gelfand and for the first time in a super-tournament Vugar Gashimov.

Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine

Foundation for Art and Creative Technology  
  Game Over DVD

In 1997, amidst much media fanfare about the showdown between artificial and human intelligence, GM Gary Kasparov lost a set of matches against IBM's thinking computer Deep Blue.

 

The documentary GAME OVER charts the real-life battle between man and machine, with little more than two bespectacled men staring at a chessboard in the controversial match where world chess champion Garry Kasparov lost to a computer.

 

On Wednesday, 10 Feb at 6:00pm, FACT (Foundation for Art and Creative Technology), 88 Wood Street, Liverpool, L1 4DQ, will be screening this famous DVD followed by an engaging talk and analysis with Professor David Robertson, Liverpool academic and world-class chess impresario, who helped organise Liverpool's hugely successful EU chess tournament in 2008. David will discuss the themes in the film, and divulge secrets about the evolution of Grand Master chess players that will be of interest to chess fanatics, beginners, and gamers alike ... more

 

Tickets are now available online. Prices: £4.00 / £3.00 (Members & concs).

Recognition for Atticus CC

“It took me hours ploughing through all the stuff on Atticus CC, but I am better informed as a result. I feel generally uplifted by the open and honest debate, and the sense that there are still people out there working intelligently to improve the running of British chess. It’s probably the best British chess website", John Saunders, editor, British Chess Magazine. John's comment in full.
