This is both a fascinating and slightly sad story: Canadian researchers have developed a program that can't lose in checkers, thereby "solving" the game, for all intents and purposes. It's silly, I know, because we slow humans can continue to play the game with each other, but there's something about a computer being invincible at it that takes something away from the fun.
It's like we're just amateurs the minute we pull out a board. I hope the same doesn't happen soon with chess.
