>Watson was a stunt. It's not very hard for someone on HN to figure out how much of Watson was Watson. Can you elaborate?

  Waston isn't so much an early general chess ai than a program aided by programmers/other gms to beat a very specific style of chess that the previous world champion played in a limited number of games

    I think that you're mixing up Watson the jeopardy bot with Deep Blue the chess bot.

      No, he's reasoning by analogy. Read it as "Watson isn't so much a general trivia AI", etc.
