Kelly's Quotes Computers Anthologized by Kelly Atkins
It is not very optimistic, but I think normal correspondence chess - I have liked it for 30 or 40 years, but it is destroyed, and it is finished by computers. Jozef Franzen I probably do better than most of my opponents in tactical combinations, but I'm not mad to go into these kinds of positions with a computer. To start calculating - it would not be a very wise idea. When the computer sees forced lines, it plays like God. Garry Kasparov The beauty sometimes means you have to allow a little mistake. Not a blunder, but some inaccuracy. The human factor. In computer games, there is no room for a human factor. You make one inaccuracy, and you blow up five hours' work. Garry Kasparov He is like every other grandmaster except he doesn't join you in the bar after a game. Viswanathan Anand (on Deep Fritz) I do think Fritz has intelligence. Maybe he even has feelings. I can sense when he is feeling afraid, for instance. He gets worried when there is a king's side attack, you can feel him wanting to move his pieces back into a defensive position. We have programmed Fritz to worry about pieces amassed against his king. Frederic Friedel We stand at the brief corona of an eclipse - the eclipse of certain human mastery by machines that humans have created. How well Kasparov does in outwitting IBM's monster might be an early indication of how well our species might maintain its identity, let alone its superiority, in the years and centuries to come. Steven Levy (on the 97 Kasparov-Deep Blue match) Put it this way, the Deep Blue supercomputer that beat Kasparov in 1997 weighed 1.4 tons, was over 6 ft high and needed 20 people to keep it running. The new Deep Fritz can run on a laptop. Even on a fast desktop machine it will be able to achieve the playing level of any incarnation of Deep Blue. I'll let you draw your own conclusions as to what it is going to do to Kramnik. Frederic Friedel I tested Fritz on my laptop and let him replay the games of Deep Blue against Kasparov in 1997. To be honest, the result was more than surprising to me: in almost every position Fritz was suggesting objectively better variations. The program is clearly stronger than Deep Blue, whatever the hardware. Vladimir Kramnik Computers are inferior in tactics. There is nothing else to say. Vladimir Kramnik Computers are just street muggers. They love to grab pieces whenever there is a chance to do so. I wouldn't have the slightest chance in a fast game. A computer isn't capable, in the same way a human is, to put knowledge into context. Intuition is a gift that is totally foreign to a machine and where problems can arise for it. Sometimes I just have a gut feeling about which move I must make. I just feel it - and my feelings have rarely let me down. Vladimir Kramnik Once you've been run over by a freight train, you know it's real painful. But until you do, you can only imagine. Robert Hyatt (on playing super-fast chess computers & programs)
