My apologies if this is old news. There was an account called DeepBlueJr watching Kramnik-Kasparov, game 6 on ICC last night. The finger notes said the owner was Murray Campbell (a couple of the admins stated that it was indeed DeepBlueJr). I asked him what exactly he was using and he said that it was a 24-processor version attached to a R/6000. He said the processors were the same ones that ran in the Deeper Blue that beat Kasparov. I asked him what NPS he was getting and he said "looks like 28M" (!). I also asked him what sorts of depths it was searching, but he didn't answer. Another thing he didn't answer was my suggestion that he join CCT2 :-) The program wasn't kibitzing automatically like crafty does, but he was occasionally cutting and pasting the analysis into channel 211. This was around the time that Kramnik was on top, before the win seemed to slip away from him. Andrew PS Just in case anyone was wondering, I asked him if he minded my reporting this conversation here and he was quite happy for me to do so.
