Mar-27-15 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1996
| |
| Ladyanavt: Is promotion to a knight a good idea long term? The fork at promotion is good but doesn't the knight quickly become trapped and the queen is lost anyway? |

Mar-27-15 Deep Blue vs Kasparov, 1996
| |
| Ladyanavt: Deep blue was said to have been programmed by a team of chess experts. Perhaps they chose the openings to be considered. It's also possible that deep blue was fed some of Kasparov's previous games, say with the alapin sicilian and other possible openings that may arise. |

Mar-19-15 Fischer vs J L Garcia Bachiller, 1970
