I was extremely impressed with Garry Kasparov and his match with Deepblue. I do not believe Deepblue, with all it's billions of calculations was able to tactically outplay him the entire match. But I wonder, if the computer's strong point is only tactics, and if many here are right, that the only way computers win is by some tactical mistake by humans, then why did Kaspy lose the match against Deepblue? Please don't cite the Six game, Dr. Hyatt has illustrated on many occasions that Several international masters were still able to win the game against the Strongest Programs after the allleged blunder ....h6. So then why did Kaspy lose the match? He stated in one particular interview that "Quantity became quality" therefore simple Calculation can overcome any lack of positional understanding the computer may have. Can we talk about this? I guess the main object of this post is to praise humans for still having the ability to compete with computer on a tactical level, but i think only the best humans have this ability.
