"Let's see how <censored> good that <censored> machine is at Quess," Kasparov was quoted as saying.

Garry KasparovSpeculation surrounds the Round 3 rematch between World Champion Chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov and IBM's chess supercomputer Deep Blue, as the man and machine are tied after Kasparov's loss to Deep Blue in Round 2.

Deep Blue SomethingThe computer may be at a decisive disadvantage in the Quess arena, since IBM has developed no specific Quake interface for Deep Blue. "We are currently finalizing agreements to license the Quake 2 technology and develop a new Quess standard with Deep Blue, but Mr. Kasparov certainly caught us off guard with this bold move," said Deep Blue team consultant and grandmaster Joel Benjamin.

In related news, 3D Realms also issued a challenge to the Deep Blue team to defeat one of their employees using their game "Duchess," 3D Realms' Duke Nukem Chess. Duchess includes all of the popular Duke elements, such as witty phrases, exploding toilets, holograms, and the perennial favorite: ExplodingToplessGoGoDancersTM.
