Kasparov loses to Deep Blue
1997
Chess world champion Garry Kasparov lost a full six-game match to IBM's Deep Blue, two to one with three draws. It was the first time a computer had beaten a world champion at classical time controls. Kasparov, shaken, accused IBM of cheating. A symbolic threshold in the relationship between humans and machines had been crossed in Manhattan.
