The most publicized match of chess ever. Deep Blue vs Garry Kasparov took place on February 1996 and was hailed as an important game not only for the chess world but as example of man vs machine. Kasparov lost the first game, the first he ever lost to a machine in competition, but went on to win the match (yippee for carbon, until the next match, in May 1997, when Deep Blue won the six game match 3.5 to 2.5). Below is the first game and it's interesting to go through because Kasparov does not always chose the most conventional move. He wants it out of the books so he can take the computer into unfamiliar territory, forcing it to think. Here is the chess notation
