[S.Taylor]

I just now noticed this fascinating match.
Unbelievably, Komodo won the first 4 games, and at that time, anyone could have thought that Komodo was the new era of chess perfection and that Houdini would be lucky if it ended up with just a few draws and maybe no wins.
To start off with 4-0 looks very impressive! What would have been said if the whole match was only set for 4 games? No one would have imagined that Houdini will ever be leading at all.

I just now noticed this fascinating match.
Unbelievably, Komodo won the first 4 games, and at that time, anyone could have thought that Komodo was the new era of chess perfection and that Houdini would be lucky if it ended up with just a few draws and maybe no wins.
To start off with 4-0 looks very impressive! What would have been said if the whole match was only set for 4 games? No one would have imagined that Houdini will ever be leading at all.

If you understand the basics of probability and statistics however you will realize that a string of 4 wins is certainly not unusual among nearly equal programs. It's almost as unusual that there were 4 decisive results in a row.

Speaking of 4 games matches, I think one of the Deep Blue vs Kasparov matches was a 4 games match. Kind of silly, isn't it?

Both Kasparov vs Deep Blue matches were 6 games each. Kasparov also played against Deep Blue's precursor Deep Thought in a two game match in 1989 which Kasparov dominated.
