IBM has a Web site (http://www.ibm.com/news/morechess.html) on the chess match series between Garry Kasparov and Deep Blue in 1996. Check it for descriptions of the match, commentary by the computer programmer, and plans for future rematches. The site has links to other information suitable for a report on what this competition between man and machine may mean for artificial intelligence.
