Go up one level in this thread


This sentence DOES say a lot, doesn't it:

"By the summer of 1990--by which time three of the original Deep Thought team
had joined IBM--Deep Thought had achieved a 50 percent score in 10 games played
under tournament conditions against grandmasters and an 86 percent score in 14
games against international masters."

That was 7 years before, and many-fold slower hardware (and much weaker
software, no doubt), than what played Kasparov in 1997.
