I just wondered, though, I never heard of Deep Thought as a chess computer. The only Deep Thought I know of is from the "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" series. Deep Thought was a computer built to figure out the answer to Life, Universe, and Everything, then Deep Thought designed Earth to figure out the question. Are you a Douglas Adams fan, or am I just that clueless when it comes to chess?
Good one!
I agree with mixee. I thought of tic tacs when u said tic and tac. I've always seen it written as tick and tock.
It should be "tictoc" or "ticktock". Also, the chess computer is "Deep Blue".
