maybe there is no way to tell for sure , or is there?? true deep blue is gone
for good , but kasparov is still more or less kasparov i mean he is still atop
the rating list .if he were to play a top rated program in a serious match like
he did vs deep blue then we would have a measuring stick of sorts .as far as
that goes kramnik was going to play a top rated program i heard . if so that
might give some indication as to how close to deep blue todays pc's are .
