Deep Blue Rematch?

hello again

             I'll keep this question simple. Do you think if a top ranked player like Kasparov would take on a machine like Deep Blue again the human could win if the parameters where set before the match that there would be no reprogramming of the the machine once play began?

I think the human player would adapt and win the match for sure. I think do think there was a human influence on Deep Blue in game two of the match in 1997. Was it a conspiracy by the IBM programmers?

For the record, Deep Blue was dismantled after the second Kaparov match. So in theory, a computer company would have to make a different machine, if a game was to take place.

Rybka (which is only software) running on some decent hardware would destroy any of the top players in a match, something like deep blue (which had dedicated hardware built for chess) is just overkill.

As far as i can tell IBM did not give a reason for dismantling Deep blue but it did happen after Kasparov demanded a rematch. One of the two racks that made up Deep Blue is on display at the National Museum of American History.

I don't know that much about the history of chess but he should have let go of it.

Didn't Kasparov make a big deal about deep blue NOT playing by itself, but was aided by a good human player. He said it suddenly made a very "human" like move. A good player looking at the analysis could see past what the computer could in theory and have helped out.

So the first machine ever to beat a human, and no proof of it happening. No logs, no code... nothing. Dismantled? Only a couple of racks of it in a museum?

To me it seems likely that deep blue didn't win by itself.
