Moscow,Russia(Space news)-"The computer is a better chess player,"insisted Viktor Prozorov,the loser." It seemed as if it were laughing after every good move.I know I should have beaten it for the sake of mankind(为人类着想），but I just couldn't win," he announced and shook his head sadly.

Prozorov's disappointment was shared by several grand masters who were present,some of whom were so upset that they shouted at the machine.Many chess players said that this meant the end of chess championships(锦标赛）around the world,since the fun had been taken out of the game.

The computer walked－or rather,rolled-away with 5,000 dollars in prize money and limited its remarks to a set of noises and light.

C.World's best chess player beaten! D.Computer defeats man in chess!
