For the tenth anniversary of Deep Blue’s victory over the world chess champion Garry Kasparov, Wired has an interview with Deep Blue developer Murray Cambell. The discuss the power of the now-aging supercomputer (equivalent to just one Cell processor), and the nonexistent future of PC vs. Human chess contests.
I was in grade school when this was big news. From the moment I heard of it, I knew I wanted to grow up and be just like Kasparov. Couple wedgies later, I decided to play Nintendo instead.
