Deep Blue was programmed by American GMs for revenge against the Europeans, as Europeans would not invite Americans to big tournaments until recently. Unfortunately, the line kasparov played had been programmed into the computer by Joel, on a happy accident. Losing that game singlehandedly shattered Kasparov's confidence, which otherwise he would have probably won the match.
Was Deep Blue cheating ("GM intervention") in 1997 against Kasparov?
Sort:
Of course Deep Blue was cheating--it was using a computer.
stop making up facts. stop spreading lies.
shut it.
it is well known that karpov was hidden inside the computer
it's well known that Pascal's triangle is a triangular array of the binomial coefficients
a somewhat lesser known fact is that Pascal's pyramid is a three-dimensional arrangement of the trinomial numbers, which are the coefficients of the trinomial expansion and the trinomial distribution.
me fail english?? that's unpossible!
Isn't school back in session yet?
On the topic of Kasparov vs. Deep Blue, he blew the match because he and his team of seconds tried to beat Deep Blue with a bunch of tired old tricks and "anti-computer" play that completely failed, and by the time Kasparov saw that he'd actually have to play his best "human" chess to win, it was already too late.
That's what happens when you underestimate an opponent.
Garry tried to say the play was "too human". Rather, Deep Blue just had a far better engine with better database and valuations than Kasparov had seen before, and Deep Blue walked all over the "anti-computer" prepared lines.
What I mean is that there's too many trolls around and you kiddies should be doing homework or something...

I finished it a while ago... thx for the explanation though, just while doing daily puzzle a computer cheating on the forum looked funny.
The simple answer is that there would have been no way to reprogram the engine on the fly like that in 1997.

That's ridiculous; they could tweak anything they wanted to in the valuation tables, etc., but regardless, the accusations center more around the idea that GM Joel Benjamin actually stepped in and made certain moves for Deep Blue via some back door/override written into the engine already, or even more low tech, that the "handlers" just reported different moves selected by GMs in another room, and not the moves Deep Blue calculated...
Or did Kasparov invest a ton of money in IBM and throw the match? Who knows, but IBM's stock was spit and and shot upward when it returned to trade after the match.
Or was Kasparov just being a sore loser?
Just wondering if a concensus was ever reached on this question.
