In the Spanish city of Bilbao, from November 20 to 23, the second match between humans and computers will take place. As last year, the computer team will be represented by Deep Junior, Hydra, and Fritz, which last year defeated the team of "protein chess players," as the press dubbed the grandmasters, with a score of 8.5:3.5.
According to the official website of the RCF, former FIDE world champion Rustam Kasimdzhanov, participant in last year's tournament Ukrainian Ruslan Ponomariov, and former FIDE world champion Alexander Khalifman will play against the computers. The chess players will play the computers in a round-robin system over four rounds.
