It did not beat Deep Blue. It beat Deep Thought.
An older slower machine. This match is a crock because the computer used is substantially slower and weaker than the one that beat Kasparov. They're jerking us around. Deep Blue type machines are now as strong as the strongest players. They're just milking this for all it's worth. Hyping it into something it can't be. The best chess playing machine has been disassembled. Do this for info about deep blue:
Go to Google groups, restrict your search to the *chess* newsgroups and type in "crazybird" for the search term. The 2nd and 3rd hits are interviews with the creator of deep blue. It's good stuff, read it.
These articles make me wonder how much misinformation goes into my head thru slashdot. I just don't know enough to discredit it in most other topics.
