I skimmed through a lot of the book earlier tonight (just got it today from Amazon, after ordering months ago :), while actually reading some of the more interesting chapters. I was a little disappointed in that it almost went out of the way to be as non-technical as possible (regarding the DB machine as well as about chess itself). However, I do think it does a very good job at what it sets out to do - namely, to explain some of the stuff that went on behind the scenes. It does give some tantalizing hints about some of Deep Blue's evaluation and search, but it's doubtful whether the things hinted at in the book will be able to help anyone else in their own programs. The book also (perhaps) answers some long-standing questions (and debates) about certain things related to the play of DB, but I'm sure there will be more new questions to be asked.
