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)
