Recenzii

From the reviews:
“Newborn’s new book Beyond Deep Blue … includes 118 games played by seventeen different chess engines from Kasparov’s matches with Deep Blue in 1996 and 1997 up to the 2010 world computer championship. … This is a book primarily for computer scientists but one that chess players are also likely to find of interest.” (ChessCafe, August, 2011)

Textul de pe ultima copertă

More than a decade has passed since IBM’s Deep Blue computer stunned the world by defeating Garry Kasparov, the world chess champion at that time. Following Deep Blue’s retirement, there has been a succession of better and better chess playing computers, or chess engines, and today there is little question that the world’s best engines are stronger at the game than the world’s best human players.
Beyond Deep Blue: Chess in the Stratosphere tells the continuing story of the chess engine and its steady improvement from its victory over Garry Kasparov to ever-greater heights. The book provides analysis of the games alongside a detailed examination of the remarkable technological progress made by the engines – asking the questions which one is best, how good is it, and how much better can it get.
