On May 11, 1997, when millions across the world watched a stunning victory in television, the world chess machine shocked the world champion defender, Gary Kasparov. The book written by the man who started the adventure reveals a story behind what happened behind the scenes in the historic Deep Blue matches against Kasparov.

This is also the story behind the quest to create a mother of all chess machines. The book reveals how a modest student project eventually produced a giant computer that cost millions of dollars to develop scientific ideas through technical setbacks, compete in the race to develop the final chess machine, and land disputes to the ultimate victory over the world's greatest human player.

. In the eyes of a non-talk technician, Feng-Hsiong Hsu, Deep Blue system engineer, tells us how he and a small team of future IBM researchers have done a project they started as students at Carnegie Mellon University in the mid-1980s.

: Find one of the oldest sacred cups in artificial intelligence - a machine that can defeat any human chess player in a good match. Back in 1949, science had laid the foundations for modern chess computers, but it was only 50 years later - even Deep Blue - that the quest came true.

Hsu refutes Kasparov's controversial claim that the only human intervention would have allowed Deep Blue to take decisive "unpopular" steps. In detail describes the growing tension in this war of minds and nerves, "burning fire" in the eyes of Kasparov.

Behind Deep Blue is not just another story of a man versus a machine. This wonderful book tells us how man ultimately gave genius, not forgetting his mind, not, not through the genius of the computer, but the man as a toolmaker..

I want that book.
