In Pictures: Ultimate Man vs. Computer - Garry Kasparov, Deep Blue and the Internet

Garry Kasparov battled IBM's Deep Blue 16 years ago in February, but that was just the beginning

Kasparov ponders a move early in Game 6 of his $1.1 million chess series against Deep Blue in New York. The supercomputer made chess history when it defeated Kasparov for an overall victory in their six-game rematch, the first time a computer has triumphed over a reigning world champion in a classical match. The victory by the supercomputer in Game 6, which gave Deep Blue the overall win, came after Kasparov resigned after just 19 moves.
