Since this monumental moment, artificial intelligence (AI) has had an iron grip on chess, and even Go – one of the oldest games in history. As artificial intelligence improves, it continues to outperform human ability, even at the highest level of chess, beating even those players unbeatable by humans.
Chess programs running on commercially available desktop computers won decisive victories against human players in matches in 2005 and 2006. The second of these, against then world champion Vladimir Kramnik is (as of 2023) the last major human-computer match.
no human player has beaten the top rated chess computer since 1997, so having an AI beat even the world champion would be significantly less impressive than beating the highest preforming computer.
