OpinionJournal - Man vs Machine

Article by former world chess champion Garry Kasparov in which he criticises the decision to dismantle the Deep Blue machine, which defeated him in 1997, rather than conduct further experiments. He also argues that his 2003 match against the computer program Deep Junior represented an important shift in computer chess since such matches are now conducted using fair and document procedures.
