	Deep Blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
		Deep Blue was the first computer system to win a chess game against a reigning world champion (Garry Kasparov) under regular time controls.
		Deep Blue was then heavily upgraded (unofficially nicknamed "Deeper Blue") and played Kasparov again in May 1997, winning the six-game rematch 3.5-2.5, ending on May 11th.
		One of the two racks that made up Deep Blue are on display at the National Museum of American History in their exhibit about the Information Age; the other rack is still standing in the IBM lab where it was developed.

		Hsu was the system architect of IBM Corp.'s Deep Blue, the computer that defeated Garry Kasparov in 1997, making it the first computer to ever beat a world chess champion.
		His book Behind Deep Blue will be of interest to chess addicts and computer enthusiasts alike, as he takes us behind the scenes for the creation and development of Deep Blue and lets us share in the drama (and occasional rancor) of the matches with Kasparov.
		Interestingly, Deep Blue's origins are firmly planted not in artificial intelligence research, but in Hsu's chip and system architecture research: chess was just a handy test domain in which to try out new chip design strategies.

		In 1997, when IBM terminated the Deep Blue project, the computer-chess field was left to talented enthusiasts.
		Unfortunately, because Deep Blue's records were never made public, it is quite useless to discuss the strength of Deep Blue vis-à-vis the strength of Deep Junior.
		Deep Junior is as different from Deep Fritz as Kasparov is from Karpov.

		Many who watched the match booed when "Deep Blue" was carried away as the victor, treating the win as doomsday for the game - and for human intelligence.
		Feng-Hsiung Hsu, who worked tirelessly for almost two decades to build this machine, demonstrates in "Behind Deep Blue" that the computer's victory was not a matter of machine defeating man, but rather the advancement of a powerful tool assembled by human beings.
		Hsu's moves through the making and eventual successes of Deep Blue may be too technical for those who don't understand the game and not technical enough for those who do.

		The two main objectives successfully achieved in the book Behind Deep Blue, Building the Computer That Defeated the World Chess Champion by Feng-Hsiung Hsu were to capture the true essence of the contest and to clarify his role in the project.
		Had Deep Blue truly solved the computer chess problem, in game one of the rematch after Kasparov made his first move of Nf3, Deep Blue would have known the outcome of the game with best play by white.
		Behind Deep Blue deserves to be placed alongside Monty Newborn’s epic, Kasparov Versus Deep Blue, but for a different reason; Feng-Hsiung Hsu presented the match in the distinction in which he intended for his book, not as man versus machine, but man as toolmaker.

	Book review by JD
		Feng-hsiung Hsu was a member of the team that built Deep Blue, and he played at the board, carrying out the moves the computer generated, for the first of those six games.
		The fundamental disadvantage that the creators of Deep Blue had to overcome was that human chess players, at any rate those at the Kasparov level, can get an instinctual “feel” for an opponent’s style, and outwit that style by sheer imagination, playing to the computer’s weaknesses and forcing it into errors.
		When Deep Blue won in 1997, society at large, not including Garry Kasparov, finally recognized Deep Blue for what it was, namely, the advancement of a powerful tool created by human beings.

		Last night, the LCI robots were out to celebrate Deep Blue's victory over that carbon unit, Kasparov.
		When the robots couldn't be found in their usual places, researchers at first thought of a theft, but the exuberant robos had just left for an extended bar crawl.
		Behind the scenes, however, there are intense discussions how to explain this malicious joy displayed by some robots.

		A detailed account of this match is the most dramatic episode of "Behind Deep Blue," Feng-Hsiung Hsu's engaging memoir of the 12 years during which he and his colleagues developed a series of chess-playing computers, culminating in Deep Blue.
		He believed that Deep Blue's moves were simply too good to have been found by a mere machine.
		Deep Blue won fairly, proving that a computer could in fact defeat the world chess champion in a match.

	Member of IBM team behind Deep Blue speaking at UW
		Murray Campbell, a research scientist at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center where Deep Blue was developed, will address the challenges and implications involved in the 50- year effort to put a computer atop the chess world in a free public lecture at the University of Washington.
		IBM Deep Blue is a research experiment in massive parallel computing designed to learn how to maximize the processing power of a system and harness it to tackle problems currently too difficult to solve with computers.
		Another major challenge for supercomputers such as Deep Blue in playing chess and in tackling other complex problems is to coordinate many independent processors around a single problem, says Carl Ebeling, professor of computer science and engineering at the UW.

	Sample Chapter for Hsu, F.: Behind Deep Blue: Building the Computer that Defeated the World Chess Champion.
		The main development effort for the 1997 version of Deep Blue was to improve its chess knowledge to a level never seen before in chess computers.
		I am also reasonably sure that Deep Blue is better tactically than either program--there were combinations from the matches that even Deep Blue Jr caught but which were missed by the two programs.
		Publicly, both human players stated that their computer opponents were stronger than Deep Blue, but it was clear to anyone in the know that they would have lost face if they lost the matches.

		After analyzing the technology behind Deep Blue, it's difficult to avoid the conclusion that what really happened at the world's most historic chess match is this: IBM turned chess into a twitch game.
		Yet even by 1996, when Deep Blue was running on an IBM supercomputer augmented by 256 custom chips, its ability to evaluate 100 million moves per second -- a 33 million to 1 advantage -- was not enough to defeat Kasparov in their first match.
		Deep Blue was always capable of making those kinds of judgments autonomously, but last year's version didn't allow the programmers to manually modify the program's material and board-position weightings between games in order to adapt it to different playing styles.
