It was too tempting.
You know, it's just, it's understanding better relations between humans and computers, you know, would be very important for our progress.
Trying, you know, just to find out, so what are the limits of computers?
The atmosphere was tense as the players sat down at the chessboard.
Kasparov with a focused, determined expression.
And Deep Blue with its bank of blinking lights and silent fans.
The game began.
Kasparov made his first move with a steady hand.
Deep Blue responded with a move of its own.
Calculated with lightning speed.
it became clear that both players were evenly matched.
When one piece has to be so many pieces...
And I kept the title for 15 years.
From the onset of the computer science, they all thought about chess, the game of chess, as being an ultimate test for machines intelligence.
Even before my famous matches with Deep Blue in 1996, 1997, we, when I say we, top players, we already suffered some of the defeats against these chess engines in Blitz, five minutes chess, or in Rapid Chess, 25 minutes chess.
So when I faced Deep Blue, it was already like a sign on the wall.
with Kasparov conceding defeat after the machine's 19th move in the sixth game.
The match was a historic moment, marking the first time a machine had defeated a reigning world champion in a match under tournament conditions.
I was really, you know, furious and I wanted to come back and just to tear this machine down.
It was painful.
