If the machine works as researchers think it will, chess masters ought to look out -- Blue Gene would be 1, 000 times more powerful than the Deep Blue machine that defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1997.
And I am especially grateful to my phenomenal partner in this effort, a Blue Star mom herself and a tireless champion of Guard and Reserve families, and an inspiration to me throughout this entire process, my dear friend, Dr. Jill Biden.
