Jul-16-10  TheFocus: I once dreamed that I would one day become a Grandmaster.

But that dream did not come true, so I dreamed of becoming an International master.

Didn't happen, so I dreamed of just becoming a Master.

Ditto, so I tried to become an Expert.

Something was lacking, so I dreamed of being just a Class I.

Guess what? Nada.

So on and on, until I dreamed of just getting a Class WXYZ rating.

Then I woke up and found out that I had wet the bed.

Jul-17-10  The Famous Chess Cat: <SetNoEscapeOn: Taken together, tabbed browsing and Wikipedia are both the joy and the bane of all curious minds "suffering" from ADD.>

I wholeheartly agree!

Jul-31-10  just a kid: Deep thought...something that is impossible for me to do :)
Feb-14-11  seeminor: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mhnD...

Excellent doco

Feb-14-11  Whitehat1963: It takes a big man to lose a game gracefully. It takes a bigger man to laugh at the loser.
Jul-01-11  SetNoEscapeOn: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

But if one has only one basket...? How many baskets can one carry, anyway?

Dec-22-11  whiteshark: What we do in life echos into enternity.
May-15-12  whiteshark: What is spare time when time is relative, Albert Einstein?
Jun-09-12  PinnedPiece: One ponders why the Deep Thought page at CHessgames has only four pages of thoughts.

What makes a thought deep? Is a deep thing desired? A deep valley makes travel difficult, and can separate things...

What makes a thought deep? The deepest parts of the ocean are lifeless, oxygen-deprived, canyons of eternal darkness.

What makes a thought deep? If you probe into the deepest, furthest recesses of man's physical brain, you enter his reptilian zone.

What makes a thought deep? The most common phrase in English for being in a deep place is actually rather unpleasant and foul-smelling: I'm in deep d_ _ d_ _ now!

What makes a thought deep? When we view deep space, we are looking at energy that has taken years or thousands of years to reach us. Does a deep thought take years to appear?

What makes a thought deep for a computer? It has piled lots of calls on a recursion stack, and as often as not, if you are not careful, you crash.

Perhaps deep thinking for me just means pondering questions I can't answer?

Oct-02-12  SetNoEscapeOn: The regular members of this site are the biggest fans of elite chess in the entire world.
Oct-20-12  whiteshark: Time is a great teacher, but unfortunately it kills all its pupils...
Oct-20-12  whiteshark: The road to success is always under construction.
Nov-05-12  whiteshark: If Atheists are so bad then how come AtheistZilla never attacked Tokyo and Godzilla did?
Nov-05-12  RookFile: Toykyo needs to have their buildings knocked down every 5 years. It's good for their economy, they get to rebuild them for next time.
Nov-05-12  rapidcitychess: So if we are all nonexistent, and imagining everything, then how did you just tell my that I am imagining everything? Do I know I am imagining things, but I don't actually know?
Jul-02-13  whiteshark: And now something completely off-topic:

"<Deep Thought> was a computer chess machine built at Carnegie-Mellon University in the 1980's. It was a predecessor to Deep Blue, the chess machine that defeated Garry Kasparov in a match. Neither machine exists at this time.

<Andreas Nowatzyk> was one of the contributors to the Deep Thought project while he was in grad school. A few years ago when he and I [<Tim Mann>] were both working for Compaq's research labs in Palo Alto, Andreas sent me a copy of Deep Thought's evaluation function tuning program and asked me to put it on the Web for him, since he no longer has an interest in computer chess. http://www.tim-mann.org/deepthought...

If you are interested in this material, you can download it here. Please don't ask me questions about it; I had nothing to do with developing it, and I don't have any information beyond what is on this page.

Explanation written by Andreas Nowatzyk in January 2000. http://www.tim-mann.org/DT_eval_tun...

God only knows.

Oct-12-15  Esauwept: I can't find the supposedly well-annotated games between Kasparov and Deep Blue computer. Does anyone know what game collection they are in? Many thanks
Oct-12-15  Howard: There's always the Informant. Otherwise, there's good commentary right here on this website, though (admittedly) you have to wade through a lot of spam-like comments.
Oct-12-15  King Radio: The Pandolfini book on the match is pretty good, and it's pretty cheap.
Nov-04-17  TheTamale: I used to think Deep Thought was an incredible machine. Then I noticed something missing... an utter paucity of 10-move demolitions of NN. Deep Thought might be a strong player, but it's no Greco.

  perfidious: In the US Open held at Boston 1988, I faced the silicon wretch and was put out at losing to it--in the very next round came the demolition job Deep Thought vs Igor Ivanov, 1988.
