I watched the whole match on ESPN2 (yeah, they showed it, I thought it was strange as well.) The only thing that I kept thinking is that Gary isn't playing against the computer. He's playing against the programmers and damn near every chess strategy ever thought-up. Doesn't seem quite fair to me.
Also, now he will never be able to use the same strategy, or any like it because the programmers will be prepared. In their minds, (and many others) it is only a matter of time before it will become impossible to defeat one of these chess machines. I think, however, that until AI is truely developed the human will always have an edge, even if it is very slight, because of improvisation.
