No, just to be pedantic, Deeper Blue *beat* Kasparov!

Unless of course Kasparov now sits on Deeper Blue's shelf as a trophy. Wink

Anyway, on topic, whether or not it beat Kasparov, the level of "complexity" (on some arbitrary scale I am working with) is nowhere near the same:-

Wiki Wrote:The human brain has a huge number of synapses. Each of the 1011 (one hundred billion) neurons has on average 7,000 synaptic connections to other neurons. It has been estimated that the brain of a three-year-old child has about 1015 synapses (1 quadrillion). This number declines with age, stabilizing by adulthood. Estimates vary for an adult, ranging from 1014 to 5 x 1014 synapses (100 to 500 trillion).[14]
