There's a thing about it on Nova tonight (2/10/11) at 6 PM PST; I don't know
if it's network or just on a local PBS indie, but I saw about the last 15
min. of the show the other day; today I get to see the whole thing.

Two of the record champs, Ted Jennings and some other guy, will be
challenging it, and none of them will be allowed to use Google while
playing.

Cheers!
Rich

Seems Watson is winning.
