Deep Blue beat G. Kasparov in 1997

Short documentary about computer chess history up to the third millennium and especially about the 1997 chess match between Garry Kasparov World Chess Champion and IBM's computer Deep Blue. The computer won the match 3.5 - 2.5 and Kasparov lost a chess match for the first time in his life.

My computer processor is core i7 with 8 cores and the speed of computing chess is: ~4.000kN/s (4 Million move per second) and the supercomputer at 1997 can compute 200 Million move per second, wow.. it's about 50 times faster than personal computer with core i7 processor!

you are failing. if your computer wasn't running windows in the background and you actually had the same software that they had i'm sure your computer would have much higher speeds

[Mark Dawes]

actually the reason why Deep Blue was "faster" was because it relied completely on brute force calculation. While chess engines like Houdini or Rybka have extensive evaluation functions making the calculations a lot slower but at the same time making the chess engine much stronger. If a modern PC with a core i7 processor used a chess engine that with a primitive evaluation function, it would calculate MUCH more than 200 million moves per second

Kasparov is king. And a valiant fighter.

HEY WAIT! WHAT IF THE GUY WHO PLAYED THE MOVES FOR THE COMPUTER ACCUALLY CHEATED AND PLAYED ANOTHER MOVE INSTEAD OF THE ONE SAID BY THE COMPUTER? HUH? .... wait... what?

[CaptainSaveHoe]

erm... actually we do, graphics cards typically have hundreds of parallel GPU cores, even mobile phone ARM CPU's have parallel SIMD instructions that allow each core to do 16 parallel instructions simultaneously, in a quad core phone that's 64 parallel instructions on the CPU alone, not even counting the GPU!

This Is Cool



[burchified]

Deep Blue had hundreds of chips, each calculating more than 2 million moves per second. Today's chips are faster, yes. But we don't have hundreds of CPUs in home computers.

Literally "beat" it with a bat? hahah

anyone who thinks computers werent part of gods plan will burn in hell

Physical size has little/no correlation to the processing speed of a computer.

damn machines....
