It was pretty unusual for a computer at that time to find a move like f4 in a tournament time limit, and then they took the machine to bits when it would have been so easy to prove Kasparov wrong simply by re-creating the position.

Re: Kasparov Talks @ Google.
the deep blue team DEFINATELY cheated. No computer was on par with that 'technology' at the time - it is impossible to think that they were at least 10 years ahead of their time with the machine they had created.
It is a scientific fact, virtually.

I'm sorry for being pedantic, but if you're going to draw attention to it like that, at least spell it right.
(I wouldn't normally do this, but 99% of the time I see that word, it's spelt incorrectly.)

I have noticed this error before, but forgot about it until today. When you click "quote" it sends a private message to somebody instead of making another post in the thread.Carl Hibbard wrote:What is the plural of pedantic?

I think the move in question was Be4. The logs have been published for all the games which I think pretty much puts the whole thing to rest.Peter Rhodes wrote:It was pretty unusual for a computer at that time to find a move like f4 in a tournament time limit, and then they took the machine to bits when it would have been so easy to prove Kasparov wrong simply by re-creating the position.

Re: Kasparov Talks @ Google.
Bear in mind that in most of the subsequent human vs computer matches, the engines (mostly Fritz or Junior) were running on more or less standard desktop PCs, whereas Deep Blue was the fastest supercomputer IBM could make; its software wasn't as good as later engines, but its hardware was better. The Deep Blue team cheating is very far from being a 'scientific fact'; evidence for it is at best circumstantial and at worst non-existent. Kasparov didn't exactly have a reputation for being gracious in defeat (touch move violation against Polgar; rant about Radjabov's win at Linares being voted the game of the tournament solely because he lost, etc.) so his whinge against Deep Blue was most probably just another case of sour grapes.Joey Stewart wrote:the deep blue team DEFINATELY cheated.

By logs - we are talking about the list of candidate moves and the engine evaluation of each ?The logs have been published for all the games which I think pretty much puts the whole thing to rest.
If that has been published - where can I find a copy ?

Why is there always somebody who comes along and undermines me sweeping generalisations with 'the facts'
