Skynet is Born

On this day in 1996 (February 10th), after a 3 hour long game, world chess champion Garry Kasparov was beat in the first of six games of chess by Deep Blue. Deep Blue was an IBM computer capable of analyzing 200 million moves per second. Fortunately, like John Connor, Gary was able to come back and best the computer with three wins and two ties.

DEEP BLUE

GARRY KASPAROV

In 1997 Kasparov had a rematch with an enhanced Deep Blue. The first game went to Kasparov, the second to Deep Blue, with the next three ending in a tie. However, on May 11th 1997, Deep Blue won the match by taking the sixth match. 

Six years later, in 2003, Garry took on Deep Junior. The match ended in a tie. 

So I ask you, did Deep Junior, in a ruse, allow the games to be a tie? Maybe our computers are just waiting for the right time to take over the world.
