It was commonly known as the industrial age. A chess game is strategy. Link me to the relevent article pertaining this computer who beat a world champion please. A computer is the sum components of what we as humans put into it. It has NO FREE thought of it's own, therefore, we are still at the forfront of the game.

P.S Please read a book entitled 'Society of the mind'. I think you'll enjoy it.

Kasparov lost the first match in 1997, and it was a draw this year (though most everyone, including myself, thinks Kasparov made a "mistake" when he had the stonger position in the sixth game and accepted a draw - it was a human "mistake," being afraid of losing).

IBM Deep Blue. It was programmed to do one thing: play chess and win. An operator was still needed. All it did was calculate every possible move it could make, every possible move that the opponent could then make, and so on. Nothing special, no need to freak out.

Besides, methinks those computers playing chess 'well' get reprogrammed over and over again, whenever the grand chessplayers find out new chess strategies/new ways of chess or new ways of countering certain moves. So it's actually the input of the chessplayers themselves they play against.

yep, that's the basis of AI. the more it learns from humans, the more powerful it will become, until it can put that information to use i.e. taking over the world.
