There has been some speculation lately on the strenght difference between Deep Blue and current top commercial programs.According to Mig from www.kasparovchess.com programmers are divided on this topic some believing that Deep Bluecan crush any commercial program and some believing that top programs today have enough chess knowlegde to compensate the huge hardware difference.As a step in this direction many people have analyzed the kasparov Deep blue matches with varying speculative results.I think 6 or 12 games is not enough for a scientific result .Here I present another step in this direction.To my knowlegde this is one of the very few games in which we have published analysis from IBM's Supercomputer Deep Blue free to the general public.The game is Gulko(white ) vs Benjamin (Black) My source is CHESS LIFE(a magazine published in the US)The issue number is January 1997.This game is from the 1996 US championship.Please refer to the above mentioned issue for the complete game score.The article was written by Joel Benjamin.The following diagram is a variation from Gulko vs Benjamin [D]2b1k3/6p1/p1p3p1/P1n1Pp2/8/2N4N/1r1r2PP/R1KB3R w In the article Benjamin claims that he thought that in the above diagram black is winning but Deep Blue demonstrates otherwise .From the article: 29.Nf4 g5 30.Rb1! Rxb1+ 31.Kxd2 Rb2+ 32.Kc1 Rf2 33.Bh5+ Kd8 34.Rd1+ Kc7 35.Nd3 Nxd3+ 36.Rxd3 Rxg2 37.Rg3 and White is winning -Deep blue.Here is the analysis of CM8K(My favorite program)of the above diagram 29.Nf4 g5 30.Rb1 Rxb1+ 31.Kxd2 Rb2+ 32.Kc1 Rf2 33.Bh5+ Kd8 34.Nfe2 Rxg2 35.Bf3 Rf2 .Which program analyzed better?? Please indicate the result of your program.It would be interesting to know that if there is a program that gets the same principal variation as Deep Blue in the above diagram.Maybe even a better line?!
