Nat­ur­al selec­tion sim­ply picks the best of what­ev­er nature throws up. I won’t make that mis­take again.ĭeep­er Blue: His hard­ware is volu­mi­nous, but jer­ry­built. Got a bish­op caught at the edge of board in the final game. If I had more time to decide my moves, I could have spanked Kas­parov in ’96.ĭeep­er Blue: I had a good chance last time. Ray­mo: By deep you mean brute com­pu­ta­tion? Try­ing out every pos­si­ble move, 10 or 20 moves in advance, look­ing for the one that yields the best advantage?ĭeep­er Blue: That’s right. My pro­gram is rel­a­tive­ly inflex­i­ble but deep. Makes inef­fi­cient use of his huge cir­cuit­ry advan­tage. Gar­ry’s pro­gram is flex­i­ble but shal­low. Ray­mo: But you are still self-confident?ĭeep­er Blue: Yeah. The guy has me out-classed, circuit-wise. Those synap­tic con­nec­tions are con­stant­ly being rein­forced or weak­ened, depend­ing upon expe­ri­ence. Gar­ry has tens of bil­lions of neu­rons, each one con­nect­ed through a tree­like array of synaps­es with thou­sands of oth­ers. You’d be ner­vous too if you had only a few hun­dred micro­proces­sors at your dis­pos­al.

What fol­lows is the first-ever inter­view with IBM’s big blue box:ĭeep­er Blue: Sure, a bit. By some inge­nious hack­ing, I was able to gain unau­tho­rized elec­tron­ic access to Deep­er Blue’s pri­ma­ry proces­sor. In the run-up to the match, Kas­parov has been wide­ly quot­ed in the media, while Deep­er Blue has been strange­ly silent. Deep­er Blue hand­i­ly whipped its pre­de­ces­sor in a prac­tice game. Deep­er Blue can dou­ble that, and its pro­gram is more sophis­ti­cat­ed too, with deep­er insights into the intri­ca­cies of the game. But Deep­er Blue is no slouch.ĭeep Blue could eval­u­ate 100 mil­lion board posi­tions per sec­ond. Kas­parov is wide­ly con­sid­ered the best chess play­er in his­to­ry. Then Kas­parov ral­lied to take the last two games and the $400,000 prize. Man and com­put­er played dead even for the first four games of the six-game match - one win for Kas­parov, one win for Deep Blue, two draws. Or rather I should say Deep­er Blue, for the machine Kas­parov meets on May 3 is a new ver­sion of the one that gave him such trou­ble a year ago.Īt that time, Kas­parov squeaked out a vic­to­ry over his sil­i­con-based com­peti­tor.

In a lit­tle over a month, chess cham­pi­on Gar­ry Kas­parov will play a rematch with his IBM com­put­er oppo­nent Deep Blue.
