On February 10, 1996, after three hours, world chess champion
Garry Kasparov lost the first game of a six-game match against
Deep Blue, an IBM computer capable of evaluating 200 million
moves per second.

Man was ultimately victorious over machine, however, as
Kasparov bested Deep Blue in the match with three wins
and two ties and took home the $400,000 prize.

An estimated 6 million people worldwide followed the action
online.

Garry Kasparov will be 62 years old April 13th.
