Journalist
secondary
A middle-aged man with a lean build, short brown hair slightly tousled from the intensity of the moment, and sharp, observant eyes behind rectangular wire-frame glasses. His face is clean-shaven, and he has a slightly furrowed brow from concentration.
Spectator

Dialog

Garry Kasparov This move... it cannot be correct. The machine is playing like... like it sees everything.
IBM Engineer Deep Blue is calculating at 200 million positions per second. It's evaluating all possible outcomes.
Journalist Kasparov's clock is under two minutes. Do you think he'll resign?
Garry Kasparov No... no! This position was supposed to be winning. How did it find this defense?
IBM Engineer The evaluation function identified the positional sacrifice three moves ahead. The machine doesn't fear material loss like human players.
Garry Kasparov You programmed it to target my time pressure. That's not chess—that's psychological warfare!
Journalist History being made here—first time a computer defeats a reigning world champion in regulation play. The question is—will Kasparov demand another rematch?
