| Description: | "In a shocking finale that lasted barely more than an hour, World Champion Garry Kasparov resigned 19 moves into Game 6, handing a historic victory to Deep Blue. The win gave the IBM supercomputer a 3.5-2.5 victory in the six-game rematch. It was the first time a current world champion has lost a match to a computer opponent under tournament conditions. "What we just witnessed was a landmark achievement in chess," said match commentator Yasser Seirawan. "All I can say is that I'm stunned. I absolutely didn't expect this to happen." Kasparov, who afterward admitted he was in a poor frame of mind entering Game 6, fell into a well-known trap that has been established as a bad line to follow. According to commentators covering the match, it was almost inconceivable that someone of Kasparov's ability could allow this to happen." |
