The book tells a great deal about the history of machines playing chess. I was surprised by the level of understanding Kasparov has of AI. Generally, explaining the concepts to a non-technical audience is not easy. However, this book carries on into it with utmost ease. I will still believe the book has lost its meaning in today's world of AI. The chess-playing of 1997 by a computer is very different from 2018. In the afterword, he states the AlphaGo-like machines based on reinforcement learning (type C) are taking over the game's strategy. The type-A or type-B machines based on search are a thing of the past. The book may not satisfy the interest of a technical audience but will keep you engaged. Hence, recommended.
