Chess legend Garry Kasparov beat IBM computer Deep Blue four games to two in a match organized in 1996. A year later, he was man versus the machine again, accepting another challenge from the team
If you are genuinly interested in Man-Machine matches, psychology, Kasparov, IBM, artificial intelligence and related subjects, then I can thoroughly recommend that you watch this documentary about the 1989 match between Deep Thought and Kasparov. It is a much more in-depth and honest look at a similar match.
A milestone in computing history was achieved with Deep Blue’s triumphant 3.5 – 2.5 match victory against the World Chess Champion, Garry Kasparov — a victory that was not (yet) expected by most of the computer chess community. The holy grail of computer chess has been won by the Deep Blue team.
Deep Blue was capable of calculating up to 200 million positions per second. Kasparov and Deep Blue met again a year later, when the super computer defeated the chess champion in a full match. Many observers worried about a machine’s intellectual defeat of a human being, while others were encouraged by the result.zCxwk.
