NEW YORK (Reuters) -- International chess great Garry Kasparov said he wanted to prove "human players are not hopeless" when he battles world champion computer program Deep Junior next week in the latest "Man vs Machine" contest.
The Azerbaijan-born Kasparov, who has played computers three times since 1989 and famously lost to IBM's supercomputer Deep Blue six years ago, will pit his skill and intuition against the Israeli-built software program over six games in New York starting Sunday.
