Commentary for black move 14:

MURRAY CAMPBELL: We're generally pleased. We admit that there were some strange moves, overaggressive moves in game one, and we hope that we dealt with that. We're very pleased with the play in game two. We think it was in a sense a historic moment that Deep Blue could play a Grandmaster style game, possibly the first game ever by a computer of that quality. DB MOVE: 14...c5.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Before I can even speak, Deep Blue has played the move c7-c5, hunkering down that knight on the d4 square. c7-c5, gaining some space also in the center of the board. And Kasparov has come back to the board, shaking his head a little bit. It's a bit surprising to see that response.

YASSER SEIRAWAN: I picked up the smile right away. I know Garry's mannerisms very, very well. He's a passionate person. We spoke about him wearing his emotions openly on his sleeve, and it was a tremendous strat eeje cal threat Be3xd4 because the e5 pawn would have been knocked out of the king-side and that avalanche of pawns that we discussed could have been enacted. Sot move c7-c5 reinforcing the knight on d4, the big point being that if white, Garry, were to condition Bxd4 after the move cxd4, the knight drops back to e2, white will not get this overwhelming advantage on the king-side that he had hoped for.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Will we see strategical play again by Deep Blue?

YASSER SEIRAWAN: Most definitely. And Garry would have really enjoyed not having to face that move. I'd even go so far as to say that this move was actually forced, the move c5, and the fact that Deep Blue was able to recognize that from a strategical sense, I find that frightening.

MAURICE ASHLEY: Well, we'd like to -- we've been yakking away up here. We'd like to open up questions to the audience. We do have roving microphones. If any of you have any questions, please wait for a microphone to come to you, and we will call on you. Just before that point, though, Yaz, last game we saw that. The first game, extremely tactical. The second game, strategical. I would like to talk to Murray about this, actually. Joel Benjamin said he took the computer to school, to chess school. Have you seen that dramatically, the dramatic difference in chess style from last year and Deep Blue now, have you been able to see a different chess sense in Deep Blue? The last game was a positional masterpiece, names like Capablanca, Petrosian, so restained, control, lucid. Have you seen this as a huge -- even barring the speed technology wise?
