Game Six
Kasparov vs. Deep Blue · 1997
On 11 May 1997, IBM's Deep Blue defeated Garry Kasparov 3½–2½ in the deciding game of their rematch — the first time a reigning World Champion had lost a classical match to a computer. The decisive moment shown here is after Kasparov's 7... h6, a known weak move played as the engine prepared 8. Nxe6 — a calm, deep knight sacrifice that broke through the Caro-Kann defense. Kasparov resigned on move nineteen and never played Deep Blue again. The machine was retired the next day.
