...cannot see everything forever--just everything within its horizon, which for Deep Blue means everything that can happen within the next 10 or 15 moves or so. The very best human player could still beat it (as Kasparov did subsequently) because he can intuit--God knows how--what the general shape of things will be 20 moves from...
...YORK: They couldn't buy it, so now they're trying to kill it. Microsoft, which abandoned its bid to acquire Intuit and its popular Quicken program amid antitrust allegations, is pursuing a partnership with Visa International instead.

...Giger and Richard Edlund, make Sil in her alien mode look variously like evil pudding and a spiny octopus. The monster isn't the problem here; it's the humans, Sil's pursuers, who make Species turn specious. One of them (Forest Whitaker) is an "empath" who can intuit everything about Sil--her moods, motives and fears--everything except that she's standing right behind him. Alfred Molina, playing an expert in cross cultures (and Sil, when riled, is one very cross culture), doesn't get at all suspicious when a beautiful woman looking exactly like Sil shows...
