Has anyone noticed yet that Deep Blue doesn't have a soul to bet in the first place?

I'm nitpicking here, but why's the bottom right tile of the board black? (see layout of a chess board)

Nice issue by the way, even though it took me longer to get than the other ones :)

Rotate the board 90 degrees in either direction, the shape is still the same but the position of the black and white corners is inverted.

Deep blue is rather phallic.

-10 points for forgetting to throw in something racist, though. For shame, Cock.

Nate, I think you're the one reading too much into it. That's very clearly a picture of Deep Blue, a computer that's famous for playing chess and not just any desktop PC that needs rebooting. This is a comic about Deep Blue beating Death. The title is just a pun on Deep Blue's name.

I lovingly raised and shook my fist in anger at this comic.

First time posting, but not the first time I've been baffled by some comments.

It's a humorous look at what happens when a computer gets a Blue Screen of Death. In order to reboot, it needs to beat death in a game of chess. I think some people try to put way too much effort into finding subtle allusions in them that they ignore the big clues (case in point: the title). Death might be good at chess, but he can't make 2 billion calculations per second, and each time a computer reboots, he has to get his ass handed to him again.

I'm baffled by YOUR comments, Nate. You're the one who's missing the point. How ironic.

Damn, I needed to read the comments to get it... I guess I'm not used to Death having a face, what with the heavy-hooded "grim reaper" look being so standard. I guess I should watch more foreign films. :-P

Hardly; it has a cross on top, the signature feature of the King piece.

Swedish, as I am, I think this is hilarious :P, What colour is death? Black of course, that suits him the best, as he says in the movie! Though as some have pointed out, Kasparov beat Deep Blue so death if anybody would certainly beat him too, but that wouldn't make a funny comic! SO keep it up!

There were two Kasparov - Deep Blue matches.

Kasparov beat Deep Blue v1.0

Then, one year later, Kasparov lost to Deep Blue v2.0

After his loss, Kasparov claimed IBM cheated and demanded a rematch. The rematch was not granted and Deep Blue was dismantled.

Yeah, but Kasparov claimed it "cheated". Or THEY cheated, they being the team.

Regardless, I love this one.
