a Russian chess master, and father and coach of [|Alexandra Kosteniuk], [|Women's World Chess Champion] from [|2008] until [|2010]. Konstantin Kosteniuk is involved in designing an [|industrial] robot to play chess, dubbed //The Chess Terminator// and later ChessKA, able to play against three opponents simultaneously. At the opening ceremony of the The 60th Russian Women's Championship in Moscow, November, 2010, //The Chess Terminator// drew a blitz game against [|Vladimir Kramnik], demonstrating its ability to move lightning fast and to press the clock. Terminator does not really "see" the board, but has a sensory board to recognize the pieces. Therefor Terminator was not (yet) able to shake Kramnik's hand when he offered a draw. The controlling PC may run any chess program using standard protocols like UCI. || =External Links=
