Garry Kasparov hated losing but in defeat, to an"alien opponent" incapable of fear or the faintest flicker of emotion, the youngest of chess champions and greatest of grandmasters made history.
The computer, playing with the advantage of the white pieces, forced the Russian to resign on the 37th move after surrounding his king. "The computer is an alien opponent and the characteristics of this opponent are very, very different from any human opponent," Kasparov, then 34, had told reporters. "One small step for a computer, one giant leap backward for mankind?," asked the Wall Street Journal.Kasparov later said he had treated the US$1.1 million event as a great scientific and social experiment but Deep Blue, whose two towers soon became museum pieces, proved"anything but intelligent".
The first match in Moscow between the two in 1984-85 lasted more than five months and was abandoned on health grounds after a record 40 drawn games, with Kasparov coming back from 5-0 down to 5-3.
