While we humans might not be as efficient as Deep Blue at evaluating these game trees, it should be comforting to know that human chess players are still able to compete against the world’s best chess machines. I’ve always wondered exactly what it was that allowed us to win against the computer. Is it skill? Luck? Experience?  Perhaps we too make hundreds of millions of calculations a second, and we don’t even realize it. Either way, it’s a long and tough road to become one of the few who can beat a world class chess computer. But one thing is for certain: those Grand Masters could never have been the best in the world if they gave up.
