Talk:Deep Blue versus Kasparov, 1997, Game 6

Old talk
This text:


 * Within the chess world this has become a somewhat infamous game because it was a rare instance in which World Champion Garry Kasparov mistakenly resigns a drawn position. Though white's (Deep Blue) appears to be winning, post-game analyses by Chess players from around the world and Garry Kasparov himself have shown that there was no way for White to win (assuming Kasparov played his best moves).

Is incorrect. The game you are referring to is Deep Blue - Kasparov, 1997, Game 2, in which Garry Kasparov played the black side of a Ruy Lopez, and missed a line that lead to a draw by repition.

The final position of this game is clearly losing once you do a bit of deep analysis, please try and refute the lines in this discussion page before editing again. Themindset 20:19, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Wins and losses in the matches
This edit is mistaken. The matches were as follows:

First match: Final score: Kasparov wins 4-2
 * Game 1: Deep Blue wins
 * Game 2: Kasparov wins
 * Game 3: Draw
 * Game 4: Draw
 * Game 5: Kasparov wins
 * Game 6: Kasparov wins

Second match (all games logged at IBM's website: Final score: Deep Blue wins 3.5-2-5
 * Game 1: Kasparov wins game score
 * Game 2: Deep Blue wins game score
 * Game 3: Draw game score
 * Game 4: Draw game score
 * Game 5: Draw game score
 * Game 6: Deep Blue wins game score (the subject of this article)

The first game was a nice positional win by Kasparov, the second game was where Deep Blue established a winning position but actually through it away on the last move, and handing Kasparov an opportunity to draw (but he resigned instead). Sjakkalle (Check!)  09:43, 13 March 2006 (UTC)
