The match for the title of World Robot Chess Champion will be held Saturday, May 19 on Strastnoy Boulevard. KUKA Monstr (Germany) and CHESSka (Russia) will battle it out for the title.
On the same day, the German visitor with artificial intelligence will play a demo match against one of the world’s strongest human players – Alexander Grischuk, the former World Blitz Champion and a representative of the Russian national team.
Both competitions will be held in blitz chess format, in which the players are given 5 minutes per game, in accordance with FIDE rules.
The Russian robot CHESSka, the first chess robot to beat grandmasters in blitz chess, was created by Konstantin Kosteniuk, Honored Coach of Russian Chess and an inventor with tens of registered patents.
CHESSka is already well-known among Russian chess fans. This “chess terminator” has played against former world champions Vladimir Kramnik and Alexandra Kosteniuk, as well as Sergei Karyakin, one of Russia’s leading players, and has beaten a number of well-known grandmasters.
