Go up one level in this thread


I once analyzed one of my games with Fritz, Junior, and Crafty 16.6, and I was
amazed by how often they gave different moves in the same position, even at
longer time intervals like 10 minutes per move of analysis. You can imagine
Kasparov with four or five computers all crunching opening lines all day long.
They would automatically generate candidate moves for novelties, and then
Kasparov would prune their suggestions through his own awesome ability. Then he
can spring the remaining gems on whoever he pleases, at any time.

I would bet that he has thousands of novelties saved up. By now the guy must be
a human database of novelties. And since the ability to remember all those
positions probably outlasts the ability to calculate deeply and accurately,
computers just might let Kasparov retain his championship long after he's
technically past his prime.
