Kibitzer's Corner
Dec-14-07  kevin86: Turbostar sounds more like a race car than a chess computer,lol. It can't beat Kasparov,I wonder if it could beat Dale Earnhardt Jr. or Jeff Gordon.
Dec-08-13  Tomlinsky: Garry Kasparov played a simultaneous exhibition versus 32 chess computers in Hamburg, 1985, organized by the German weekly magazine Der Spiegel and ChessBase. He won with a perfect 32-0 score, and according to Kasparov in an Spiegel article, one Turbostar 432 might have missed the win with 37...Qa4 instead of Qb3.

Kasparov's quote in 'Chess Metaphors: Artificial Intelligence and the Human Mind' by Diego Rasskin-Gutman on that game...

"At one point I realized that I was drifting into trouble in a game against one of the “Kasparov” brand models. If this machine scored a win or even a draw, people would be quick to say that I had thrown the game to get PR for the company, so I had to intensify my efforts. Eventually I found a way to trick the machine with a sacrifice it should have refused. From the human perspective, or at least from my perspective, those were the good old days of man vs. machine chess."
