The chess match between Garry Kasparov, a world champion chess player, and Deep Blue, an IBM computer designed specifically for playing chess, was a highly anticipated event in the world of artificial intelligence and chess.
The first match between Kasparov and Deep Blue took place in 1996, where Kasparov won the match by a score of 4-2. However, the rematch in 1997 proved to be more challenging for Kasparov.
In the six-game rematch, Kasparov lost the first game, which was the first time in his career that he had lost a game one in a match. He went on to win the second game and tie the third, but then lost the fourth game to Deep Blue. The fifth game was a draw, and the final game was won by Deep Blue, giving it the victory in the match by a score of 3.5-2.5.
Kasparov was surprised by Deep Blue's playing ability, as it made several moves that he considered to be "human-like" and unconventional. This led to allegations of cheating, although IBM denied any such actions. Kasparov later went on to accuse IBM of manipulating the match by intervening with Deep Blue's programming during the game, but there is no concrete evidence to support this claim.
Overall, the match between Kasparov and Deep Blue was a significant milestone in the development of artificial intelligence and its applications in the world of chess. It demonstrated that computers could compete with the best human players in a complex game like chess and paved the way for further advancements in AI technology.
