More than a decade has passed since IBM's Deep Blue computer
stunned the world by defeating Garry Kasparov, the world chess
champion at that time. "Beyond Deep Blue" tells the continuing
story of the chess engine and its steady improvement. The book
provides analysis of the games alongside a detailed examination of
the remarkable technological progress made by the engines - asking
which one is best, how good is it, and how much better can it get.
Features: presents a total of 118 games, played by 17 different
chess engines, collected together for the first time in a single
reference; details the processor speeds, memory sizes, and the
number of processors used by each chess engine; includes games from
10 World Computer Chess Championships, and three computer chess
tournaments of the Internet Chess Club; covers the man-machine
matches between Fritz and Kramnik, and Kasparov and Deep Junior;
describes three historical matches between leading engines - Hydra
vs. Shredder, Junior vs. Fritz, and Zappa vs. Rybka.
