I was just watching a show on it. I was at first thinking, "This is just typical Russian whining" (Anyone who watches hockey knows what I mean). But then when they said IBM stock went up 15 per cent after the victory and that the computer was dismantled right afterward so there would be no rematch, I started to wonder. What do you think?
4. Not exactly, but there are actual rules for computer chess
there is even a tournament for chess computer programs.
"cheating" would mean things like tweaking the code between matches or even during a game; or adapting the code to work better against a specific person or other program. The idea is that IBM did not design a chess program, but one specifically designed only to beat Kasparov, and against any other Grand Master it probably would have lost.
