Answers.Body: <p>If you're going to let chess players improve (substituting Carlsen of today for Kasparov of two decades ago) before this theoretical match, you'll have to let the computer's hardware and software improve, as well. Given the overall rate of improvement in top Grandmaster skill vs that of computer hardware and software over the last twenty years (hardware improvements alone would allow DB a calculation speed gain of roughly 1000 times, for example -- remember in 1996 the typical desktop CPU was a single-core 75Mhz Pentium) I suspect a modern version of Deep Blue could probably give Carlsen pawn odds and still not lose a game.</p>
