(I
soon hope to have this whole match available in both PGN and ChessBase formats.
{Un-annotated.}
Additionally, I soon hope to have a whole collection of these games
lightly annotated. And I should -
very soon - have this game available in a java-script re-play format
as well. Dec. 05, 2002.)

with my (deep) annotations, BUT!! ... this is text-only.
After
literally YEARS of working on this game, (just a little here, and a
little there);
I have almost completed my analysis of this wonderful and exciting game.

Post-Game Press Conference & Interview with Kasparov
|
The
"New York Times," "The
London Times," "USA TODAY,"
...
they all raved about what a great game the computer had played.
(It did well.)
REMEMBER: This was the very FIRST time a machine ...
of any kind ...
had beaten the Chess World Champion ... at a traditional time
control!
Kasparov:
"I congratulate the research team at IBM for a fantastic
achievement.
They have succeeded in converting quantity into quality. The first game
was a
masterpiece." (He - later - went on to say he would have trouble
sleeping after
such a difficult defeat.) "This duel is going to be extremely
tough."
He
added that the computer played well. Its choice of opening was
unusual,
but not bad. He noted that his attack late in the game would have
intimidated
many a HUMAN player, but the machine simply was not affected. He
remarked on many aspects of the game, even giving examples of times
his
opponents' had backed away from the best continuation. In a
round-about
way, he was commenting on the psychology of the game. This is an
aspect
where Deep Blue will not be affected very much!
Kasparov:
"It doesn't get depressed, exhausted or afraid.
It played a beautiful game, ...
and is VASTLY stronger than anything ever built before.
In certain kinds of positions, it sees so deeply that it plays like
God."

Charles
Krauthhammer, in "TIME"
magazine:
"On Feb. 10th; Garry Kasparov, the best chess player in the world,
and quite
possibly the best chess player who ever lived, sat down across a
chessboard
from a machine ... an IBM computer called 'Deep
Blue,' and
lost." |
A
truly momentous occasion ... does this mean Garry will be wiped out?
