With luck he'll say: 'I see your point' or 'I take it back' and you feel ridiculously proud. When he says: 'I have not considered that move', you know he's marked it down as ? or ?! and you panic. The personality of Kasparov comes across strongly. This is a shame because I wanted to compare Karpov's (Chessmaster 3000) and Kasparov's comments on the same game. It has one peculiarity out of the 116 games featuring Kasparov, there is only one (Timman-Kasparov Hilversum (m/3) 1985) in which he loses. The library of games can be sorted by black, white or theme. The match was a classic because a bug in the Deep Thought program stopped it castling until move 17 (although it could have done it after 11 Bd3). a boring and slow approach to the opening'.

Here he is on Deep Thought - Kasparov after 1e4 C5, 2C3: 'a pity that the programmers chose this wimpy variation (Alapin) for such an important encounter. There is a library of 500 famous games, all with a commentary by Kasparov. There are masses of tutorials ranging from simple moves (castling, en passant) to advance stalemate positions and back rank mating (no, that isn't what you used to do in the cinema). The program assumes that if told to move your knight you at least know which one to move and where it should go. Which one? And where? So, if you're an absolute beginner and want hints of the d2-d4 variety this isn't for you. Cheers Garry, I mean there's eight of the little buggers. Press 'H' and Garry will say: 'move your pawn'. a Caro-Kann defence and have forgotten what to do next. The program has a hint feature that really is a hint feature that is. The original goes 1e4 C5 2Nf3 d6 3d4 cxd4.1 started out with ie4 and was surprised when the computer played e6 - the French defence and an anathema to Kasparov's aggressive style. Does it play like Kasparov? I tried the fourth Short-Kasparov game. If you elect to play Kasparov, the program enters 'serious' mode for maximum strength and, of course. You can alter the attributes - aggressiveness, creativity, attentiveness, orthodoxy and strength - of any of these or create your own opponent. You can play 37 computer opponents with 10 ratings of between 800 (Neanderthal) to 2800 (Kasparov). No point hunting around the board for a threat just tuck a pawn nearby and he'll be happy. 'Your bishop - or whatever -is in jeopardy!' he will shout, when all he really means is that it is temporarily unprotected. Garry himself keeps his beady eye on you and shouts advice from the touchline, as it were. Controls are easy with a mouse or keyboard. You can see all the moves the computer is contemplating.

The default display is a workman-like 2D board with analysis and coaching windows but you can configure it to your needs with a pretty 3D board and lots of windows. The program comes on five hd disks, takes up 11Mb of Hard disk space and uses 32K as a hash table. Electronic Arts don't want you to think that this is just another licensing deal.

Garry Kasparov was disenchanted with the state of chess programs and decided to help develop one that would help the 99 percent of players that can be beaten by a microcomputer. a Grand Master will consider between 50 and 100 positions a move and still beat most computers. Such blitzkrieg tactics are being replaced with a more intuitive understanding of the game. Socrates II beat the brutish Cray Blitz, which looks at 100 million moves. The acm computer chess championship this year was won by a program that ran on a 486 pc. This is as the game itself moves in the opposite direction. At last chess procrams are moving away from gimmicks and towards solid playing.
