Subject: Behind deep Blue

Author: Fernando Villegas

I have just finished the book by Feng-Hsiung Hsu. In just a shot, from after
lunch to this time, meal time. Very interesting. You cannot stop he reading.
First big impression: if this guy and his team had worked just one year more on
Deep Blue, Garry has been crushed to ashes, to atoms. Yes, because once and
again Deep Blue appears as an uncomplete device full of bugs and problems,
almost all the time performing with scarcely some room to test and smooth the
edges. Second great impression: contrary to common wisdom, Db has a lot to do
with knowledge and evaluation, not just searching power. Third impression: Gary
was and perhaps still is a wheening asshole.

Be bye
