How do you know all this? How do you know Deep Junior has more chess knowledge? I mean, we don't know what Deep Blue evaluated exactly (save a few things that are published). We know *nothing* about what Deep Junior evaluates exactly. As a consequence, you can't possibly support any of the claims or suggestions you make. All of this talk about Deep Blue this and Deep Blue that is just pure bullshit. Maybe Fritz 7 would kick its ass. Maybe Fritz 7 would get its ass kicked. Maybe they're about as strong. I dont care either way since Deep Blue doesn't exist anymore and it certainly doesn't look as if it's ever going to play again. So why care about it? Why keep making totally unfounded speculations? What's the frigging point? This kind of discussion comes up about once in every 2 months and there has NEVER EVER come anything insightful out. Instead, a lot of people are making claims or saying things that they can never ever support, or even are demonstrably wrong. Mention the words 'Deep' and 'Blue' to anyone who works in computer chess, and all sanity suddently grinds to a halt. -- GCP
