Synopsis

For the international chess community, it was a blow against humanity when Garry Kasparov, arguably the greatest chess player the ancient game has seen, was defeated by IBM's computer, Deep Blue. "It's about the supremacy of human beings over machines in purely intellectual fields. It's about defending human superiority in an area that defines human beings," Kasparov had said prior to the 1997 match. He did not take the loss lightly.
