Looking over the games with a top engine such as Komodo 8, and comparing with the computer logs, sheds new light, and even reveals a missed win by Kasparov. It has inspired books, documentaries, and theatrical productions.
β Nearly eighteen years later, the matches between Garry Kasparov and Deep Blue continue to stir the imagination and fascination of people around the world. Komodo 8: Deep Blue revisited (part three)
Deep blue chess opponent cracked#
He had already cracked in a somewhat similar situation. Karpov would have had to go through the same process. Having gotten what it wanted, IBM backed out of a promised rubber match. I have no doubt that Kasparov would have made adjustments in a longer match.
It must have been very upsetting and perhaps humbling to him. Human players do not suddenly jump 200 points in strength. The sudden improvements in the program between the first Deep Blue vs Kasparov match, which Kasparov won, and the second were very surprising to Kasparov. He might have reacted the same to the pressure of the match with Deep Blue. Karpov broke down under the pressure of his first match with Kasparov. It's not as straightforward as you are making it. Have you read Kasparov's recent book about the match? (Deep Thinking) What do you think the result of this game if it happened would be. I think that the result of the match would've been deep blue overall on top but i think karpov would've done better than Kasparov. What i don't know is how good deep blue actually is in terms of positional chess. would a computer like deep blue (keep in mind this is not stockfish.) know about positional play and would it make tiny errors that karpov exploit. Karpov would would play solidly and would punish tiny positional errors made by his opponents.
The main thing to consider is the style of play.
would he have been humiliated by the computer or would he fare better than Kasparov. Most people are aware of Garry Kasparov playing a match against deep blue and overall losing but what if Anatoly Karpov played deep blue.
