The circumstances of that match are still very very shady. Deep Blue prepared for the match using full knowledge of every game Kasparov ever played. Kasparov was not granted access to any game that Deep Blue ever played.
During the match the team kept on reprogramming Deep Blue, to better combat Kasparov's style.
Still, these days computer chess programs are probably better than most grand masters. I completely agree that that doesn't say much about AI though.
- KC8ZKF 17y agoI would not call that shady. All parties agreed on those conditions before the match, and of course Deep Blue was reprogrammed between games. Kasparov changed his approach based on Deep Blue's play, as well.
- jvdh 17y agoIf this was truly an AI approach then the reprogramming would not be necessary. Reprogramming Deep Blue is like replacing Kasparov with Anand, halfway through the match.
