Hi David, I whole heartedly agree. Deep Blue was a computer Chess game designed specifically for that one player. Given enough time and matches Garry would have been able to determine the computers main mode of operation, its unique style of playing, and have defeated it soundly. Computers are limited to only what they have been programmed to do and after a while an experienced player will discover what style of playing it will try and can counter it.
