Shown here is a game board from the 1996 match between Deep Blue
and Garry Kasparov in Philadelphia. When playing Deep Blue, Kasparov
frequently played a defensive style of chess that seemed to include an
"anti-computer" strategy. As Grandmaster Vishwanathan Anand observed of
Kasparov’s play in the 1997 rematch: "By trying so hard to avoid any position
where Deep Blue might be able to calculate its way through, he effectively
self-destructed."
