White to Move: Hsu: "When the new chess chip was being designed, little design effort was put in the chess hardware on how to position the queen" (219)
Kasparov's Passed Pawns Win the Game for the Human Player!
1-0
This is an outstanding game that merits more attention than it has received because Kasparov eventually lost the match against Deep Blue, which was one of the most powerful supercomputers ever designed. However, the game does show how brute calculation cannot replace positional knowledge. Future chess computer software and hardware integrates the positional knowledge of grandmasters into the programming to avoid problems such as the early development of the queen. The mere fact that Kasparov was able to defeat such an outstanding program testifies to his incomparable knowledge about chess.
