IBM said Deep Blue crushed other programs, but what value are these statements without records? 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 Yes, this is the only GM that can make this claim, NOT Kramnik, since Kramnik din't play against Deeper Blue.
