Huge speed.
It was doing most things worse than the best micro programs, but it was doing it
so fast that it was eventually stronger.
Hum... Let me rephrase for the sensitive people out there. There was nothing
Deep Blue did better than the best micro programs. But it was so fast that it
allowed it to hide its defficiencies.
Shit. That's not very diplomatic either. Let's try again: Deep Blue was build
around a concept outdated by 2 decades but fortunately it was so fast that
nobody noticed until their creators published their paper.
Oops... OK, once again:
Bob likes Deep Blue a lot, and that should be a reason good enough to convince
you that it was well designed.
