Not long ago, the idea of a computer beating a human at chess was the stuff of science fiction. But some of the most creative programmers of the 1980s and 90s were determined to make it a reality. And they did. In two matches that riveted the world, Deep Blue, the IBM supercomputer, took on the brilliant world chess champion Garry Kasparov, and finally the computer won. Check out WSF's fascinating discussion with computer scientist Murray Campbell, and grand master Joel Benjamin, two key members of IBM's team involved in the epic match-up between man and machine.
