Excerpt from the interview: "For instance, if you were to remove the database, you can have a computer ten times faster than it is today. Ten times faster than Deep Blue, easily. If it couldn't consult its opening book, my result would improve immediately. I think most of the top twenty, thirty players could beat Beep Blue if it wasn't allowed to consult an opening database. Or, even the opening database is restricted to a certain size. What happens is, their opening database is almost 400-500 MBs of information. It has access to all the games that are played but we have to remember all that. Or, if I am allowed to have a computer with me, okay, I can't check my thoughts but I can see what was played at any given time. My result would then go up." I think he's wrong about having a computer ten time faster than Deep Blue without the opening database. Still, what to make of the comment that the top twenty or thirty players could beat Deep Blue if deprived of its open database? Roger
