Kasparov Versus The Machine, Movie - 2006/11/04 14:59 Having watched the movie, it seems to me that IBM imposed some very unusual rules during the whole match. For example, Deep Blue was locked in a room, with guards outside, and nobody (not even Kasparov or any representative of his team) was allowed in. Why so secretive?

Having said that, the film makes much of IBM's failure to produce logs which could prove Deep Blue's play in Game Two was it's own. These logs are available at this link:

http://www.research.ibm.com/deepblue/watch/html/c.html

What is the general consensus here? Is Kasparov paranoid? Or was there something underhand going on?

Bear in mind that one the most interesting points brought up in the movie is that IBM's stock rose by 15% the day Deep Blue beat Kasparov..

re:Kasparov Versus The Machine, Movie - 2006/11/04 15:37 So what's the theory, that Joel Benjamin beat Kaspy?

In any event the fact that IBM may have been more interested in marketing and money than in chess is not surprising, nor particularly meaningful..

re:Kasparov Versus The Machine, Movie - 2006/11/04 15:40 that's the point exactly, though - the fact that they don't care about chess and clearly care about money means they would have no ethical problem cheating if it increased the value of the stock.

and the theory is that someone (not Benjamin in particular) was choosing the more "human" moves that Deep Blue was generating, so that long term positional aspects were being taken into consideration, something a computer cannot do on it's own..
