Watson is ahead at the end of the Jeopardy round Tonight the IBM computer system "Watson" appears to be soundly kicking the Jeopardy Champions' collective butts, at the end of the first round of play. The game is being played out over more than one night because there's a lot of background information being given about the computer itself, so the game is only half finished.
