Computer Chess and The Sarah Connor Chronicles a

I posted this on CTF, but thought some here might find it interesting that do not go over there:
Has anyone else watched this show? I purchased the DVD collection and have so far made it through the first five episodes. I was amazed at all the chess references in this show.
One in particular, The Turk, followed by Queen's Gambit had them going to a computer chess tournament and the programmer had a Fritz/Kramnik poster on his home wall.
Good show. The good female "robot" is easy on the eye as well.

The allusions drawn in continue to impress, particularly in the metaphoric games of chess between humans and machines that mirrors the "chess moves" made by Sarah and company to try to beat the machines at their own game. Particularly striking is the poster of "Kramnik vs. Deep Fritz", which is an actual poster depicting a chess board between a human and android opponent whose hand very much resembles a Terminator's.
