I have been taking it for granted that DB's chips were advanced versions of what already existed, and this may not be true. It is possible he did something completely different and original. Still, I will take this back to the original discussion; could DB have been done without Hsu? I believe there are many ways to make a supercomputer that plays super chess. Hsu invented one way, and others could invent other ways too. >> >>And they met with brilliant success. >> > >Didn't Kasparov lose the match?
