On this day: Born April 13, 1963; Russian chess champion Garry Kasparov

The Russian's 1996 and 1997 man vs machine matches against Deep Blue, an IBM RS/6000 supercomputer capable of crunching 200 million positions in the space of a second, wrote headlines around the world. Although Kasparov won the February 1996 match in Philadelphia, his faceless foe took the opening game in a watershed moment for artificial intelligence and 20th century technology. It was the first time a computer program had ever beaten a reigning chess world champion under classic tournament rules, where players have hours to plan their strategies.
