The IBM announcement today is really odd. Is it a challenge to Kasparov in the form of a marketing claim? Or do they think something as an extrapolate claim against a one-year old chess result will result in extra business for them? Or lastly, is it simply an example of IBM's dreadful collective Borg-like ego? Further, no matter the speed of the "front-end" of Deep-Blue, the VLSI special purpose chips that do the short searches a few ply out are really the power behind the machine Without them, IBM's Deep Blue would lose to a number of machines I'd bet. A truly bizarre announcement. On April 22, 1998 at 10:47:27, Mark Young wrote: >I heard that IBM has come out with a 6 billion move a sec. version of >Deep Blue. Is this true?
