Subject: In a sense, he is right ...

Go up one level in this thread



Deep Blue II beat Kasparov fair and square ... GK should not imply otherwise if
he is.

However, he is probably correct in saying that silicon chess players are not yet
as good as carbon ones.

The misguided impression that computers are now better than the best humans has,
in the recent past, arguably subtracted interested from:

a)  computer-computer chess

b)  computer-human chess, and maybe even

c)  human-human chess.

Maybe FIDE, the ICGA and Kasparov together should correct that impression, and
jointly declare that:

a)  the comparison of the best human and computer chess players is still an
'open question' and that

b)  they will work together to facilitate further human-computer events


An official recognition by FIDE that ...

computers, via databases, the web, chess-servers, chess-engines, and events
involving computers, have added value to the world of chess

... would be most welcome.
