Go up one level in this thread


Let's put some stuff to rest here..

Quoting from FENG-HSIUNG HSU's Book

"Behind Deep Blue"

Pg 207
 The match contract explicitly obliged the Deep Blue team to provide, when
requested, the scores of all our public tournament games.

True, he did not have access to games played by the newest version of the
program.

We wanted to be fair, but to give Garry games from our pre-match training would
have placed us at a serious disadvantage.

Pg 219.

The chess books I had only gave cursory treatments on the positional play of the
Queen
After this game Joe wrote some simple code on where the Queen should be placed.

Pg 220.

An automatic tuning run for the evaluation function pointed out to us that the
weighting for one class of King Safety should be increased.

Pg224.

The morning before game 2, the team debated whether we should make changes
to Deep Blue's evaluation function. Joe had already 'fixed' the bug responsible
for the last move in game 1, but there were other changes we needed to look
into.

Pg 238.

The penalty for Bishops being shut out from the game was increased after this
game.

Pg 243.

Granting him direct access to Deep Blue's game logs would be equivilent to
giving him Deep Blue's silicon head on a  silver platter, with $700,000 on the
side.


   Well, enough Quotes..
Read the BOOK!
