In the latest match between man and machine, chess champ Vladimir Kramnik nearly made a chess chump of "Deep Fritz." The two tied in the eighth and final match of the "Brains in Bahrain" showdown. That means the entire series ends in a draw. Kramnik could have taken home $1 million if he had deep fried Deep Fritz. Instead he'll check out with a not too paltry $700,000. ChessBase, the makers of Fritz, didn't exactly get rooked either; the company will donate about $200,000 to charity.
