Deep Blue: The AI That Triumphed Over Kasparov
In a groundbreaking moment in the world of chess, IBM’s supercomputer Deep Blue famously defeated the renowned chess grandmaster Gary Kasparov in 1997. This historic event marked a significant milestone in the development of artificial intelligence and its applications in strategic games.
The Match: Kasparov vs. Deep Blue
The match between Kasparov and Deep Blue captured the world’s attention as it showcased the capabilities of AI in one of the most intellectually demanding games. Deep Blue’s ability to analyze millions of possible moves per second allowed it to outmaneuver the human mind and ultimately secure victory over Kasparov.
The Overload Tactic
During the match, the bishop on the board fell victim to an “overload tactic,” where one piece had to defend multiple others, leading to a strategic advantage for Deep Blue. Kasparov’s expressions reflected his disbelief and frustration as he realized the challenge posed by the supercomputer’s calculating prowess.
Kasparov’s Resignation
As the game progressed and Deep Blue’s strategic moves became increasingly decisive, Kasparov ultimately resigned after Deep Blue’s move C4. The moment marked a historic victory for AI and a testament to the progress of technology in the realm of competitive gaming.
