Not long ago, the idea of a computer beating a human at chess was the
stuff of science fiction. But some of the most creative programmers of
the 1980s and 90s were determined to make it a reality. And they did. In
two matches that riveted the world, Deep Blue, the IBM supercomputer,
took on the brilliant world chess champion Garry Kasparov, and finally
the computer won. Check out WSF's fascinating discussion with computer
scientist Murray Campbell, and grand master Joel Benjamin, two key
members of IBM's team involved in the epic match-up between man and
machine.
