Seven years ago Russian grandmaster Garry Kasparov had a fight with the computer. The man lost the game. After his defeat chess players have not gambled with the machines.
Andrew Slyusarchuk does not apply for the title of grandmaster. He just wanted to show the audience that the potential of the human's brain is not fully used.
Slyusarchuk is an amateur in chess playing -- he is a neurosurgeon. 39-year-old MD specializes in the brain studying as well as improving memory technologies development. He knows by heart 20,000 books and 30 million digits of the pi number.
