Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov was a pair of six-game chessmatches between world chess champion Garry Kasparov and an IBM supercomputer called Deep Blue. The first match was played in Philadelphia in 1996 and won by Kasparov. The second was played in New York City in 1997 and won by Deep Blue.

Any grandmasters lurking here in the forum? Please answer. I'm curious. Personally, I think computers have come of age.

You meant to say super engines
yes..super engines also..

- February 10, 1996: takes place in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Second match (rematch)

- Record set: First computer program to defeat a world champion in a match under tournament regulations.

It's almost 18 years since IBM's Deep Blue famously beat Garry Kasparov at chess, becoming the first computer to defeat a human world champion. ... Called Komodo, the software can reach an Elo rating as high as 3304 — about 450 points higher than Kasparov, or indeed any human brain currently playing chess.

I think there should be match between GM & chess engines now....as the match between deep blue and Garry Kasparov is quite old.


Are you refering to Hikaru??
"... In late 2004, the humans tried their luck again with a team of Topalov, Ponomariov and Kariakin facing Fritz, Hydra (a special-purpose multiple-processor machine) and Deep Junior. The human team were by no means run-of-the-mill GMs; at the time of writing, Topalov is ranked third in the world while Ponomariov is an ex-FIDE world champion. Despite this, the machines crushed the humans by 8.5-3.5. Out of 12 games, the humans managed to win just one and, most embarrassing of all, Fritz, running on a 1.8 GHz notebook, managed to score 3.5/4. We now have the situation in which a program you can buy in the local game shop, running on a standard notebook computer, can defeat almost any player in the world. The computers' dominance was only emphasized when, in 2005, Michael Adams lost 5.5-0.5 in a match against Hydra. This event demonstrated that computers can play extremely well not only in wild, tactical struggles, but also in quiet positions. … the only way to render [man vs machine contests] interesting would be to limit the computer's data access in some way. … even this would provide the humans with only a temporary stay of execution. The inexorable advance of computer hardware would eventually overcome the imposed limitations …" - GM John Nunn (2005)
