  IMO, the "revolution" seems to have something to do with the playing stryle of
the "new generation" of programs. What I mean is that is seems that
risky/attacking strategies are, for the first time, proving to be worth in
computer chess.
  Maybe my memory is wrong, but I don't recall any other chess tournament with
so many "surprises", meaning games that seem to be clear for one side, and then
the result is the opposite.
