The Man vs. The Game Machine.
On 10 February 1996, the chess computer Deep Blue became the first machine to win a chess game against the Grandmaster Garry Kasparov, the IBM supercomputer manages to beat the world champion under regular time controls.
Altogether the match of Deep Blue and Kasparov were 5, Kasparov end winning three and drew two of the following five games, this contenders returned to measure themselves in 1997 where in this occasion it was Deep Blue the one that manages to take the triumph at the end.
Deep Blue began in 1985 as a project at Carnegie Mellon University by Feng-hsiung Hsu, after graduating Hsu continued the project working with IBM to build a chess machine that could defeat the world champion. The system draws its game power mainly on the brute force calculated by the central system. It was a massive parallel processing computer based on the RS / 6000.
Surprisingly some criticisms of Kasparov have to do with the actions of IBM after the match, he said that he sometimes saw deep intelligence and creativity in the machine's moves, suggesting that during the second game, human chess players had intervened on behalf of the machine, which would be a violation of the rules. IBM denied that it cheated, saying the only human intervention occurred between games.

Si le hicieron eso al campeon mundial que no le haran a los mortales, yo apenas hace unos años aprendi a jugarlo y jugaba con aplicaciones, oficialmente nunca he jugado con nadie (vivo). Las maquinas de hoy me ganaran con los tres primeros movimientos!!! Jaja
hahah, bueno yo empeze a jugar ajedrez con un pana hace años, pero nunca entendí las reglas, me gustaba mas Damas, no fue hasta que me quede sin internet unos 6 meses que le aplique el coco, y la verdad es muy estratégico cuando entiendes las reglas.
