Also Game 5 Kasparov could have won if he didn't take bad advice and trade Qs. Moreover, Deep Blue doesn't exist anymore...only a part of it at the Smithsonian Intstitute. Notice, only a part of Deep Blue resides there, the rest was scrapped. The matches you see now are at the low end of scientific research, albiet there is scientific value, it's low. In Deep Blues case, science took second stage when Kasparov lost a match by one game. Overall, Kasparov has beaten publically Deep Blue more time than he lost, which is only once in 1997. Kasparov has won more matches and games to all computers than lost, by miles. Yes he's had several bad games, only to turn the tide and win them all back and then some, more than making up for his paultry losses. When IBM got a lucky win, the company ran with it, then ran away! Hsu, was the only guy (Kasparov Aside) who pushed IBM not to quit, as he's a scientist, and did science, IBM were too busy counting money to hear him or care. Terry
