(...) Yes, Deep Blue was 100 times faster, but so what? Sheer power means little in chess because it is a mathematically near infinite game. The only way to measure the strength of a chess-playing computer is to analyze its moves. While putting Deep Blue's six games to the test with current top programs - Deep Junior and Deep Fritz - we discovered that they consistently play better than Deep Blue. The only exception is when Deep Blue showed a stroke of genius in one game (when I suspected certain interference). End of quotes.
