Question

Do you think that one day a comercially available software can beat the chess World champion Anand?

Answer 1

Yes, just give it time.

Answer 2

The programmes that have been competitive with other players of his stature (Kramnik and Kasparov) in recent years, Deep Fritz and Deep Junior, are both slightly souped up versions of commercially available software running on a handful of computers in parallel. There isn't a big gap back to a commercial programme.

I suspect that a top programme could currently beat him on a bad day, and that they'll entirely catch him inside 5 years. I base this last on Moore's law - that computers double in speed every 1.5-2 years.

Answer 3

Assuming you mean the current champion, possibly.

Think of the economics of it.  One that beats Anand cost $200

One that can beat 90% of chess players costs $100.    

Which would you buy.

Answer 4

possible....man vs machene?...its an ongoing battle

Answer 5

Dream on, but if miracles were true then beggars would write!!!

Answer 6

yes,put only when Anand gets older.

Answer 7

Probably. If a team of grandmasters work on it, that is.
