Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Man vs. Machine is over, it ended in a tie. Game 6 finished in a draw. Kasparov started out strong, playing his favorite defense with Black. It ended in rather strange fashion. Black looked to be in a strong position, but offered a draw. It was refused. A couple moves later, Deep Junior offered a draw, and Kasparov accepted. An exciting match. Kasparov can be proud. Against a machine that evaluate millions of positions quickly, Kasparov was only beaten once, and that was on a time pressure induced blunder. He held his own against the computer, and showed that he really is the best chess player of all time.
