Deep Blue versus Kasparov - 1997 - Last Game

This is the end of the last match between the computer Deep Blue and Garry Kasparov, World Chess Champion.

Kasparov won the first game, lost the second game (after resigning in a drawn position) and drawn games 3, 4 and 5.

This is the very last game where he resigns.

For the first time a computer has defeated a World Champion in a match of several games.

Good analysis, keepaopenmind. Indeed, if Deep Blue "blundered", why did it won ? Indeed Garry Kasparov talks and acts like a politician. Actually, Garry Kasparov did become a politician a few years later ;)

@alexteclo is it impossible to win if you make a blunder?

[alexteclo]

@JWJSSIF It depends, but at such a level, if you make a blunder, your opponent is likely to take advantage of it. Sometimes the hardest part in playing chess is *not* to make a blunder.

this was so arrogant of kasparov, saying that the computer "blundered" a perpetual check, so therefore the computer didnt really win. he made the exact same mistake! he blundered a perpetual check! he didnt see it! he resigned!! how does he have more right to blunder than deep blue? If kasparov missed the perpetual, it means it was beyond his skill as a chess player, therefore deep blue was better. is that so hard for him to understand? my respects to him, but here he was a sore loser...

why does he get so upset?

@alexteclo Kasparov talks like Kasparov

Cheer up Homo Sapiens, the top human experts still dominate computer programs in Bridge and Go.

@alexteclo

deep blue did make a blunder at the end, but kasparov was so confused after it didnt take that pawn that he couldnt concentrate any longer. The position at the end was a draw indeed, but i doubt he saw that coming, at least while on the chessboard he did not even notice the huge mistake by deep blue.

Garry is all EGO of course. Incredible chess player but i dont think he gets along easy with people. He must be a very complexed person. I like Karpov more, he's more down to earth.

@alexteclo Uuh...a blunder for their level is different from normal people. There is always a blunder, and often, even in the highest level games, there are several.

If he didn't hate so much to lose and if he didn't have this extraordinary will to win, he wouldn't be the best. His will to win is an essential quality of his genius.

This game was fixed. Anyone who knows alot about chess/deep blue would know that.

Greatest player ever but bad loser.

ok so they did not want him to be the greatest chest player in the world so they sent a computer out instead of giving him his bragging rights. f u woorld llol
