Similarly, Kasparov said, "I’m not afraid to admit I’m afraid. It makes decisions that cannot be made by any computer" And Kasparov said, "In certain situations, Deep Blue plays like a God." And Kasparov said, "So although I think I did see some signs of intelligence (in Deep Blue), it is a weird kind, an inefficient, inflexible kind that makes me think I have a few years left." >we have gotten far afield from the very reason chess were chosen by the early >pioneers in the field of computer chess > >winning, Isn't that the goal? >brute force,speed and power are the order of the day Kasparov has the brute force, speed and power about equal to any current comptuer.
