Analyzing the Moves of a King

In "The Machine," which opened on Friday night at the Park Avenue Armory, the element of surprise is confined almost exclusively to a small board at the center of a very large space. It's a chess board, and even audience members unfamiliar with the game played on it will gather that startling things are happening on this little square inhabited by barely visible wooden figures. Television commentators, of synthetic excitability, hyperventilate from the sidelines of the main event of "The Machine," a British import by Matt Charman about the epochal 1997 chess match between the Russian grandmaster Garry Kasparov and the I.B.M. computer known as Deep Blue. 

The play's professional kibitzers, their mouths agape in disbelief,The KapStone kraft paper mill in Longview surpassed 1 million safe hours worked for the year, the second straight washer extractor year the mill has topped the mark, the company announced last week. are given to saying things like "Can he really be doing that?" or "Why didn't he go with H6?" They don't yell, "Holy cow!" à la Phil Rizzuto, but they might as well.Chess, you see, is a game of vast and dizzying possibilities, of endless choices for moves.Some thought has even been given to enlisting former President George W. Bush, a rock bolt friend of Bandar, to act as an intermediary. And the greatest minds of chess are able to select from that infinity the choice that unsettles their opponents and throws the course of the game onto a brave, new, unpredicted path. 

That is a road not taken by Mr. Charman's play, which has been staged with magnifying spectacle and at a breathless pace by Josie Rourke, the artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse in London.

"The Machine" is certainly gutsy in its aspirations. This is a work, after all, that aims to translate a pursuit that is all about thought into the crowd-wowing physical dimensions of a basketball game.It's a way of saying "the doors are open to new ideas and cultural diversity". It's a strategy that's used in many developed Flexible hose around the world.
