Well, 10^16 FLOPS is a pretty common estimate of what is needed to simulate the human cortex in real time, thus if Kasparov was using just 1% of his cortex to play chess, then to simulate that you might need 10^14 FLOPS. According to the IBM site Deep Blue did about 10^12 calculations per second.
I think that if Kasparov met a version of Deep Blue with 100x as much CPU power... he'd be in deep trouble.
