"How do you make a computer blink?"

Does anyone remember this ad posted around NYC in 1997? I surely don't! For me, 1997 was a prime party year and most of my time was spent at PURE (represent!). Who is the greatest chess player of all time? Many would vote for Kasparov. Others for Deep Blue. I vote for myself!

Was the 1997 match btw Kasparov and IBM's Deep Blue the greatest chess match of all time? I would like to think so. I watched "Game Over: Kasparov vs the Machine" last night. The fascinating documentry about Kasparov, IBM and the controversial events that took place during the 1997 chess match, reminds you that IBM is the ultimate corporate machine. "If you build it, they will come!" Immeditely after the defeat, IBM stock prices rose. Hmmmm! Where's Deep Blue now? So, if you're a chess player or simply interested in the fight of man vs machine, I recommend this film. Knight G1 to F3 ... your move!

FYI - In special features on the DVD, you can watch all the games btw Kasparov and Deep Blue. Truly fascinating.
