Is the World Chess Championship finally going to be played on a COMPUTER?

Its now 2010, are these world chess championship games still played on an actual board with pieces touched and moved by hand with no computer used the old fashioned low tech way? Why dont they start using a computer for this? Do you think they should start doing this? Why or why not?|||There is a computer world chess championship, but of course this is quite separate from the human variety!


Using a computer in a human chess championship would be akin to firing a shot from a cannon in athletics: not really fair!|||So what if it's 2010? there's nothing wrong with playing with an actual set of men on a real board that's the way the game was meant to be played face to face.|||i don't agree because chess was made for real people with real chess pieces and a real board although there is a computerized chess championship but its kind of cheating because it shows you things plus a computer does not make a mistake they can analyze everything and will never run out of time|||nas谋l|||Computer help is actually becoming more common.





I was in Montreal for the Canadian open a few years ago. They used computers in the Grandmaster section to record the moves and they had giant boards where some of the games were being displayed on live time. So the top players didn't have to worry about punching clocks, or recording moves. Real boards are still better, though, and that's what they used.|||The board and the pieces are part of the enjoyment of the game.





They could play out the games in their mind, and saying out the moves, while going for a walk around the tournament hall, as well. But they don't.





Anyone for boxing and chess.
