This sounds like a book for players.

This is a book for programmers.  It is fun but not particularly essential.

I have heard of this but I don't know what it is about.  I will probably buy it
because it sounds like fun.

>Chess and Machine Intuition (Ablex Series in Artificial Intelligence)
>George W. Atkinson / Hardcover / Published 1993
>Our Price: $76.00 (Special Order)

This is a book for programmers and AI folks in general.  I am not sure if the
guy who wrote it programs.  It doesn't really say very much, it dabblesaround
with a lot of topics though.

>Kasparov V Deeper Blue
>Daniel King / Paperback / Published 1997
>Our Price: $14.95

Don't have it.  It is probably about the second match.

>Man Versus Machine : Kasparov Versus Deep Blue
>David Goodman, Raymond Keene / Paperback / Published 1997
>Our Price: $17.95 (Back Ordered)

Same deal, but might be about the first match, I don't know.
