Description: Because of stay-at-home orders in Arizona and the problems it creates, we are lengthening our shipping time window to 20 business days. We regret the inconvenience and hope to return to ten days in the near future. As every American schoolchild knows, John Henry didn't let that steam drill whip him down. Ever since the dawn of the machine age, mankind has been fascinated by the struggle of man against machine. David Levy, the author of this book, was the first international player to beat a computer; his co-author, Monty Newborn, was a professor of computer science at McGill University. After this many masters and grand masters played computers. Garry Kasparov famously won his first match v. Deep Blue, but lost the rematch.It's been downhill for the human race ever since, but at least no one has laid down his hammer and died. The authors give an full account of how computers play chess. If you are a fan of the Netflix series The Queen's Gambit, this book is for you. Out of print. Worth every penny. Algebraic notation. We combine shipping!
