Feng-hsiung Hsu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Author of the book Behind Deep Blue: Building the Computer that Defeated the World Chess Champion, Feng-hsiung Hsu started his graduate work at Carnegie Mellon in the field of computer chess in the year 1985 which eventually culminated in the defeat of the World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. Feng-hsiung Hsu went on to build the successively better Chess playing computers Deep Thought, Deep Thought II, and Deep Blue Prototype. Feng-hsiung Hsu worked on many other chess computers. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Feng-hsiung_Hsu   (185 words)

EETimes.com Hsu said this week that the chip used in Big Blue, when moved to a new process and sped up, should be able to perform at the grand-master level in tournament and match play, and that a small array of chips should be able to ensure victory at the grand-master level. Hsu's architecture basically comprises a move generator that determines all of the possible next moves from a given position; an evaluation function that estimates the value of the new position resulting from each move; and a repetition detector that detects the repeated positions that can trigger a draw. Hsu has taken the chess-playing chip at the heart of IBM's Deep Blue — the chip that, used in a massively parallel configuration, was able to defeat world champion Gary Kasparov in match play last year — and taken it to the next level. www.eetimes.com /news/98/1022news/ibm.html   (1024 words)

Deep Blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The project was started as "ChipTest" at Carnegie Mellon University by Feng-hsiung Hsu; the computer system produced was named Deep Thought after the fictional computer of the same name from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Deep Blue system described by Feng-hsiung Hsu, Murray Campbell and A. Joseph Hoane Jr. Hsu joined IBM in 1989 and worked with Murray Campbell on parallel computing problems. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Deep_Blue   (724 words)

IBM Research Deep Blue Overview Hsu's day-to-day activities on the Deep Blue project include hardware implementation and testing, and the maintenance of the evaluation function. Hsu received his Ph.D. in Computer Science from Carnegie Mellon in 1989 for architectural work on chess machines and research on parallel alpha-beta search algorithms. For Hsu, it was the culmination of 11 years of ground-breaking work on his chess-playing computer. www.research.ibm.com /deepblue/meet/html/d.4.4.html   (628 words)

Man: 0 Machine: 1 csmonitor.com 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. Although he is not a writer and English is not his first language, Hsu's enthusiasm and expertise allow him to ease into the role of storyteller, and his personal narrative is colored with details that make, surprisingly, for a thrilling page-turner. www.csmonitor.com /2002/1114/p20s01-bogn.htm   (380 words)

response Feng Hsiung Hsu's open letter is extraordinarily misleading and he demonstrates a troubling ability to ignore certain responses and to take items out of context or make them up and put them in his letter as facts. Hsu that for Garry to consider a match, the prizemoney would have to be substantial, that putting his World Title on the line with an untried and untested opponent did not make any sense at all and suggested politely but firmly that Mr. Hsu waited until two and a half years after the match to set up a flurry of e-mails which almost from the beginning were threatening in nature. www.users.bigpond.com /rebpab/response.htm   (534 words)

Scientific American Article: A Grandmaster Chess Machine: 10/90 Hsu observed, for example, that two other programs had played into lines in which their every move could be forced and where neither side knew the outcome in advance. Hsu took drastic action to get this component ready in time: he decided the engine would ignore two basic aspects of chess: castling of the king and rook and the repetition of positions. Hsu, Anantharaman and Campbell have since joined the IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center; Nowatzyk is with Sun Microsystems. www.disi.unige.it /person/DelzannoG/AI2/hsu.html   (4238 words)

frontwheeldrive.com: reviews Hsu's yarn covers the whole quest, beginning from his days as a grad student at Carnegie Mellon and wrapping up with his departure from the computer chess circuit to pursue other interests. Hsu's book is an engaging account of building such a tool, and his story telling capabilities are only surpassed by his engineering skills. Taking cue from Tom Sawyer, Hsu put the first revision of his chess chip into a lab workstation and left it alone, knowing that new gadgets hardly sit around a lab without perking the interest of nearby lab hackers and that he would benefit from their experimentation. frontwheeldrive.com /reviews_behind_deep_blue.html   (652 words)

Behind Deep Blue - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Behind Deep Blue: Building the Computer that Defeated the World Chess Champion (ISBN 0691090653) is a book by Feng-hsiung Hsu. Hsu focused his tale not on Man versus Machine, but as Man as an individual genius versus Man as a toolmaker.

ChessBase.com - Chess News - Behind Deep Blue Hsu’s use of footnotes sometimes added little to the text and I found him to be redundant on occasion. Hsu tactfully sidesteps the controversies surrounding the rematch even though I had the feeling throughout the entire book that he wanted to disclose more concerning certain personalities. Regarding computer chess in general, Hsu writes about the goal to, “... www.chessbase.com /newsdetail.asp?newsid=551   (919 words)

Nicest of the Damned: Review: Behind Deep Blue: Building the Computer That Defeated the World Chess Champion, by Feng-Hsiung Hsu Review: Behind Deep Blue: Building the Computer That Defeated the World Chess Champion, by Feng-Hsiung Hsu Hsu is careful not to go full-geek on the details behind the hardware and software, but he gives enough to whet the hardcore geek's appetite.

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. Hsu got my attention and kept it, though, bringing this strange story to life with a fluent, modest style, some side excursions into academic politics, a dash of wit, and riveting accounts of the games — and the gamesmanship — that led up to the May, 1997 victory. Hsu speaks casually of a chip containing 36,000 transistors, each of which had to be correctly placed relatively to the others — and this was in 1985! www.olimu.com /Journalism/Texts/Reviews/DeepBlue.htm   (1042 words)

REVIEWS IN BRIEF Feng-Hsiung Hsu, formerly a research scientist at Compaq, designed the chess chip brain of Deep Blue. By May 1997, Hsu created a new chess chip with a repetition detector, a new evaluation function and an improved move generator. Hsu spins an intriguing behind-the-scenes tale of how he and his Deep Blue team prevailed. www.sfgate.com /cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2002/11/24/RV235782.DTL   (368 words)

Chess By Murray Campbell, A. Joseph Hoane Jr, and Feng-hsiung Hsu. HSU: That was my initial starting point, after reading a paper by Ken Thompson that experimentally verified how you can increase program playing strength by improving computation speed.

index.cfm?featureID=1534&printerfriendly=1 Comfortingly, Feng-Hsiung Hsu, who headed the machine’s design team and authored a book on the subject, Behind Deep Blue, is doubtful. In Hsu’s analysis, Deep Blue ranks as a great human achievement because it was human ingenuity that built, programmed and tuned it. If Behind Deep Blue deserves to go a list of “books worth reading” it is for its unresolved theme – Hsu’s rivalry with Kasparov himself. www.techworld.com /features/index.cfm?featureID=1534&printerfriendly=1   (791 words)

Did HAL Commit Murder? Yes, we may join in congratulating Feng-hsiung Hsu and the IBM team on the success of their handiwork, but in the same spirit we might congratulate Kasparov's teachers, handlers, and even his parents. Hsu, like the human grand masters watching the game, would never have dared consider such a calm mopping-up operation under such pressure. At one point, while Kasparov was mounting a ferocious attack on Deep Blue's king, it was nobody but Deep Blue that figured out that it had the time and security it needed to knock off a pesky pawn of Kasparov's that was out of the action, but almost invisibly vulnerable. cogprints.org /430/00/didhal.htm   (3811 words)

ICC Interview with Feng-Hsiung Hsu Hsu, I'm wondering if you would be open to having another discussion to answer more technical questions from chess programmers. Hsu I read in 1991 you had a Ph.D. where did you do your B.S. or where did you grow up?

News Briefs II "The contest is not really man vs. machine," said Feng-hsiung Hsu, the IBM researcher who designed "Deep Blue," the cybernetic half of this clash of the titans. Even if the machine wins - so far each has won a game - chess players and computer experts say, the outcome in the six-game match would still be a victory for Homo sapiens. www-tech.mit.edu /Issue/V116/N3/nb2.3w.html   (514 words)

chess24.htm Feng-hsiung Hsu, the architect and principal designer of Deep Blue, ceded defeat after 5 hours, 45 minutes. After the match, Kasparov said he had a key strategy for attacking the computer he referred to as ''the monster.'' He discovered that by moving for safe positions rather than direct attacks, he could lull the machine into opening its defense. Kasparov won the match in 73 moves with a triumphant display of long-range tactical thinking over Deep Blue, an IBM computer which has a calculating capacity of 200 million moves per second. www.usatoday.com /sports/other/chess24.htm   (476 words)

Review of "Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine", reviewed by Robert Rizzo There are many interviews of the main "players" in this historic event, such as Dr. Feng-Hsiung Hsu (a creator of the computer and software called Deep Blue) and many well-known chess players, such as GM Joel Benjamin, who worked with the IBM team to improve Deep Blue, and GM Yasser Seirawan. Hsu would prove unsuccessful in his attempt to gain sponsorship for another match between Kasparov and an improved Deep Blue III. There was, however, the suggestion by the filmmakers that the psychological damage inflicted on Kasparov by this match was a key reason for his loss of the World Chess Championship to Vladimir Kramnik. www.correspondencechess.com /campbell/articles/a050504.htm   (1799 words)
