Abstract
Living chess does not refer to a game with live pieces but to chess played by living people. If the machine can beat a grandmaster at the chessboard, if a non-living chess player can beat a living player, will not living chess expire? Will not chess masters be out of work? A certain uneasiness on the part of the chess masters in the face of such a prospect seems reasonable. One must assume, however, that the interests of the masters will not suffer.
