Hsu discusses the setbacks, tensions, and rivalries in the race to develop the ultimate chess machine, and the wild controversies that culminated in the final triumph over the world's greatest human player.

Although chess engines were around then, I won the event without using a computer. This book includes all my games from the championship.
