Go up one level in this thread


Until the Deep Blue vistory in 1997, computer chess was the jewel in the crown
of AI research. But thereafter, many researchers just lost any interest in the
field saying computers have proved to be better than humans, and have achieved
the historical scientific milestone.

For the sake of computer science, I can't hide my appreciation of Fritz's
catastrophic losses, since that will prove that humans are still superior to
computers. This will yield a renewed incentive for trying improve chess playing
programs, and will hopefully restore computer chess' deserved repsect, among
computer science disciplines.
