On February 10, 1996, IBM's supercomputer Deep Blue made history by defeating the reigning world chess champion Garry Kasparov in a single game under standard chess tournament conditions. This event marked the first time a computer had ever beaten a world champion in such a setting. Despite this loss, Kasparov ultimately won the six-game match with a score of 4-2. The match, known as the ACM Chess Challenge, was significant not only for this historic win but also because Kasparov would later be defeated in a rematch in 1997, which was the first time a computer defeated a reigning world chess champion in a match format.
