Had a long, fascinating session with Garry on Wednesday. He went over all the games and talked deep and wide about computer chess and his matches. It was all video-recorded for future display as a Playchess.com multimedia segment. Some of it is recapped in the article I just put up here: http://www.chessbase.com/newsdetail.asp?newsid=1313 More will go up in text later. From a chess perspective my suspicions during the game were confirmed when he said that he had analyzed just about all of game four a few years ago when looking at that QGA line. He mostly spent his time double-checking things to see if the Fritz team had found something nasty somewhere. That one of his former analysts, Kharlov, had played that game up to move 18 in 2001 was a tip-off. The position was already equal by that point. Probably of more interest to you all is Kasparov's interest in computer-computer games beyond simply preparing for a specific opponent. That part I recap in the article linked to above. I'm seeing him again before he leaves Sunday so if you have an interesting, (non-flame) question for him on comp chess I'll be happy to put it to him (and take credit for it myself of course).
