<nitf>Okay, it might have all the thrill of watching paint dry, but the m=
ost novel entertainment on the Internet this week is at the "brains in Ba=
hrain" Web site, where world chess champion Vladimir Kramnik is playing l=
ive against the world's smartest chess computer.</nitf>
</P>
<P>
<nitf>Game five of their eight-game match takes place this morning betwee=
n Kramnik and Deep Fritz 7, a software program that earned the right to p=
lay Kramnik by beating IBM's Deep Blue. The Deep Blue computer program ma=
de headlines in 1997 by defeating world champ Garry Kasparov.</nitf>
</P>
<P>
<nitf>Today's action starts at 8 a.m. and will be followed by more games =
later in the week. So far, Kramnik has won two games; two others were dra=
ws, giving Kramnik a 3 to 1 point lead over the machine.</nitf>
</P>
<P>
<nitf>The games take place in Bahrain and are webcast live at www.brainsi=
nbahrain.com, then archived there for replay. The emir of Bahrain has off=
ered $1 million in prize money, with $600,000 guaranteed to Kramnik.</nit=

<nitf> If you have a hankering to learn on your own, the Massachusetts =
Institute of Technology has something for you. Namely, free courseware fr=
om dozens of classes taught by MIT professors, all of which went online S=
ept. 30 as part of a project to open MIT's teaching materials to the worl=
d. MIT plans eventually call for putting lecture notes and other material=
s for more than 2,000 courses in the public domain.</nitf>
</P>
<P>
<nitf> For the "OpenCourseWare" project, MIT started planning last year t=
o give everyone free access to its course outlines, lecture notes, readin=
g lists, class homework and eventually lectures in streaming video format=
s. The idea is not to replace an MIT education, for which students pay mo=
re than $25,000 a year in tuition. There are no tests, grades or opportun=
ities to communicate directly with professors. Rather, MIT says it simply=
wants to share its teaching knowledge with other teachers and students =
in hopes of improving education worldwide.</nitf>

<nitf>When You Gotta Go, Ask Vindigo </nitf>
</P>
<P>
<nitf>
</nitf>
</P>
<P>
<nitf> Mobile information provider Vindigo added a directory of public =
restrooms and weather reports to its data subscription service last week=
=2E Vindigo had been a free provider of restaurant reviews, movie showtim=
es, maps, phone numbers and other local information to handheld computers=
, but it imposed an annual subscription fee of $24.95 in March. New York-=
based Vindigo has been adding a variety of directories and metropolitan =
areas to its database, which now covers more than 35 markets, including W=
ashington and Baltimore. (The Post's washingtonpost.com site provides con=
tent for Vindigo's service in this area.) </nitf>
</P>
<P>
<nitf> This expansion isn't proceeding at the same pace, however: While V=
indigo added weather updates for all markets, its bathroom listings are s=
till limited -- they include Baltimore, but not Washington.</nitf>
</P>
<P>
<nitf> Vindigo runs on Palm-style handhelds, Pocket PCs and some data-ena=
bled cell phones.</nitf>
