I think it is no less then "insane" to so that Deep blue couldn't play chess, because it made a few rediculous moves, as if all strong grandmasters play perfect chess, the best judge of any chess game is the result. Deep Blue performed miracles in the endgame against Kasparov, when many grandmasters thought that it was lost, in my opinion, more then impressive.
