Nakamura Draws Two, Loses Two Against Stockfish

America's top chess player Hikaru Nakamura drew two games against the number one chess engine Stockfish in a series of four games recently. In the first draw Nakamura had benefit of an older version of another chess engine-Rybka. In another drawn game Stockfish played without one pawn-the H pawn. That handicap has been used for centuries by GMs playing against lesser opponents.

Not too bad  a result for Nakamura considering how challenging it is to play against what is in effect a mathematical sort  and dialectical networking forecast algorithm with games theory memory that makes few errors. Nakamura will not play in the Sinquefield cup in St. Louis that starts Wens. It is said to be the strongest group of chess players to play in the U.S.A. in a tournament ever. Nakamura is the number five ranked player in the world at 2787 and will play in the 2014 Sinquefield.
