Gary Kasparov vs. Deep Blue

by
On Wednesday, world chess champion Garry Kasparov tied Deep Blue, the IBM supercomputer that can examine two hundred million positions per second, in the fourth game of their six-game series. Earlier in the week, Kasparov admitted he committed a catastrophic blunder in game two, when he failed to force a draw by moving rook to E8. Opting instead for a Caro-Kann Defense, that soon transposed into a Pribyl defense. Which, after Deep Blue moved bishop to E7, gave him the advantage with his Knight position. With all due respect to Mister Kasparov... what the hell were you thinking?!?
