On May 19th in a park in Moscow the battle for the Absolute World Robot Chess Champion title was on between ChessKA (also called the Chess Terminator) and the robot KUKA Monster. CHESSka, the first chess robot defeating grandmasters in the quick chess game, was created by Russian trainer and and inventor, Konstantin Kosteniuk. It beat the German-built KUKA Monster. 

Organizers plan to hold such events every year, creating the major league of chess-playing robots (ChessRoboLiga-1) for Industrial Robotics, similar to Formula 1 for the automakers.
