Praise for this book

From the reviews:

"In 1997 ... the chess machine Deep Blue defeated reigning World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov ... . Monty Newborn, the author ... has long been involved in computer chess and was instrumental in making possible the 1996 and 1997 matches between Deep Blue and Kasparov . His book documents the external events - what happened where and when - and deliberately avoids getting into details of the technology. This is the book's greatest strength ... . It is accessible to anyone ... ." (Jonathan Schaeffer, American Scientist, Vol. 91 (3), 2003)
