Hence the reason it didn't play the so Called Better Move that >you found with you're PC. Emulation of Deep Blue or using PC's to analyze Deep Blue's moves will not create an accurate picture as you point out. Take a 8088 machine running EdChess and analyze a move of Deep Junior playing at 40/2 on an 8-way box. What will you decide from the effort? You can compute the same number of nodes eventually. But the algorithms (and therefore the shape of the search tree) are not identical. It's simply a waste of time, but it does make for lots of fun debates. What other chess match that happened more than one year ago are people still talking about on a weekly basis? None of them. Of course. Maybe if they did fully reassemble Deep Blue (perhaps to an even greater strength) it would put an end to the debate. Wouldn't that be sad? What would we quibble about then? ;-)
