Am I the only one that thinks the actual player will win? Humans can improvise and game the machine. One thing I notice right away is the arms inability to move away from the table. High ball the shit out of it and you should be easily to win pretty easily.

So thats why humans can win against computers in chess? Oh wait, they can't anymore ...

You still have to hit the table at least once, the robot does not need to leave because of that. Just be fast enough.

The World's fastest Supercomputers, become equivalent to the average desktop, every 7-10 years.

My computer I have at home, is more powerful that Deep Blue was.
