DT - Kasparov : 0-2.
Peter Jansen
Not entirely unexpectedly, human world champion Gary Kasparov
convincingly defeated computer world champion Deep Thought in their
two-game exhibition match on Sunday (10/22).
Even though Deep Thought, running on the fastest hardware it has used
yet (6 custom processors and 3 Sun4-330 workstations), looked at over
1.6 million positions per second, Gary Kasparov won both games easily,
proving that chess computers still have a long way to go.
Here are the games.
In game 1, DT did not know what to do with its fairly good opening
position. Kasparov gradually took charge, built up pressure and
calmly and cautiously maneuvered his pieces to their optimal squares
until the position was ripe for the kill. Only at move 40 did DT
notice something was seriously wrong...

After showing his strategic superiority in game 1, Kasparov
proceeded to outcalculate DT in game 2.
DT neglected the development of its pieces rather pitifully,
and Kasparov put the position on fire (beginning with 10 Qd4),
eventually winning DT's queen (18 Bc6). With two pieces and
two pawns for the queen it didn't look all that bad yet, but
Kasparov finished the job effortlessly.

Indeed DT got a pretty decent position out of the opening, but couldn't it
improve by
6.dc Bxc5 (6...Q-e7+ 7.B-e2)
7.B-b5+ N-c6
8.B-g5 Ng-e7 (8...N-f6 9.N-e5 or 9.N-d4)
9.N-e5 Q-b6 (9...Q-c7 10.B-f4 B-d6 11.0-0; 9...B-d7 10.NxB)
10.Q-e2 0-0
11.NxN NxN
12.0-0 with what seems to me to be roughly equal and not extremely complicated
position
