Deep Blue was retired exactly 20 years ago. If you want to see the strongest human chess player vs strongest engine and who will win, then, engines would reign supreme. Answer (1 of 4): No, he can’t, because: 1. Deep Blue was far weaker than modern-day engines, say Stockfish or Komodo.

With this in mind, you are probably asking yourself a simple question. You will hear about how Deep Blue was able to beat legendary Chess Grandmaster Gary Kasparov back in the 1990s. However, this does not mean that in the current times, humans would beat computers without odds. The Deep Blue Chess Engine is something that you will often hear about when the topic of chess and famous matches comes up. So, I would say if this hypothetical match did happen and Carlsen plays at his best, Carlsen would easily win against Deep Blue. The study of computer chess and the success of Deep Blue serve as defining moments in the history in artificial intelligence, and the implementation of smart search chess algorithms demonstrates true ingenuity in computer science. At the time that the match against Kasparov was played, computers weren't really stronger than humans.Īnd to be honest, I think, Kasparov lost because of his usually attacking instincts and the fact that he played openings that he never usually played.(This was because, he feared the computer had access to his games and he wanted to take the computer out of theory known at that time.) Even then, Deep Blue barely managed to win when Kasparov fell into a known trap in the last game. Deep Blue itself was dismantled and kept only as a trophy of its tremendous achievement. Some argued that computers had progressed to be 'smarter' than humans. However, if it does happen, then I would favour Carlsen winning against the computer. In 1997, Deep Blue, a computer designed by IBM, took on the undefeated world chess champion, Garry Kasparov. So, I guess, we will never know what would have happened. Deep blue was dismantled soon after playing Kasparov. World chess champion Garry Kasparov is seen on a video screen pondering a move against IBMs chess playing computer, Deep Blue, in New York while chess fans look on.
