Robot vs. Humans at Chess: KUKA Monster beats Grischuk 4.5-1.5
It was a historical day in Moscow, when a 6-game blitz match between the contender to the Robot World Champion title, KUKA Monster and top Grandmaster Alexander Grischuk (2761 ELO) took place in Moscow. In the first 3 games Alexander was white, and although he had the initiative, he could not beat his metallic opponent. Actually in the third game, he barely managed to draw a Rook endgame with a pawn down. But in the 3 last games where KUKA Monster had white, Alexander was not given any chance, and the robot beat him 3-0. Bottom line, a clear win 4.5-1.5 for KUKA Monster. See also our report on the Robot World Championship KUKA Monster against ChessKA (also called Chess Terminator – That’s the robot created by Konstantin Kosteniuk, the father of the 12th women’s world chess champion and Chess Queen Alexandra Kosteniuk. Will Konstantin be able to “create” another world champion? See the photos of the match KUKA Monster – Grischuk below.

I liked this page in fb first but sorry had to withdraw. Didnt like the idea of humans being beaten. Sorry though of course i am a big fan of chess queen and her scientist dad
awesome
Thank you. I liked it too. How did you see the game? Is it online sheewomre or did you watch it while I was playing? I thought I was on track for a similar game against Richard Savory yesterday, but unfortunately that went horribly wrong near the end. My game from today is really disgusting, so I recommend you steer clear of that one!
Congratulations to Konstantin Kosteniuk for creating this amazing robot. In order that all spanish audience can read this article I have translated it in my websiste.
