Originally posted by Darth SpongeIt's like a documentary, and it makes strong insinuations that IBM's Deep Blue team was using human intervention in the man versus machine match. It's funny, IBM would never turn in the move lists for the machine. They would never turn the annotations over even though they said they would. In the first game, Kasparov annihilated Deep Blue. IBM was worried, because the company had put too much money into building Deep Blue. They had to cheat. At one point, Kasparov deliberately made a move based on the fact he was playing a computer, and he did not expect (with 100% certainty) that Deep Blue would make such a human move which would destroy his game. Deep Blue did make that move! Kasparov buried his head in his hands and was awestruck at the human move that Deep Blue (rather a human Grandmaster combined with Deep Blue) made. If the greatest player in the history of the game notices it immediately and is awestruck, there is something amiss! The computer was not only playing Kasparov. IBM had outside help! Companies and science are in a race to create a computer who can defeat all humans, but I do not believe they will ever succeed. Human imaginaton and invention go beyond the scope of mathematics and logic. All one must do is watch a beautiful ballerina dancing, and he or she will come to the realization that the human machine is an awesome and irreplicable work of God. Yeah, ole Kaspy crushed Deep Blue in their first game! Why does it start playing so well after? IBM was worried! Money talks man! The whole movie brings it to light. I suggest all chess players peruse its contents just once.
reccommendations? opnions? i've seen it at the video store, but haven't rented it. is it worth the time?

You can get all Deep Blue's game logs from there. They have been there for years. But of course it's much more fun to think that IBM cheated and it's all a giant conspiracy.
Also, the rules of the match allowed for changes to the program between games. This was taken advantage of which is how Deep Blue managed to play differently than Kasparov expected.
EDIT: Next time try to know what you are talking about before opening your mouth powershaker.
