It is ironic that in the late 1980s Kasparov was one of those who popularized personal computing in the USSR. He realized that the digital age had arrived and helped founding one of the first Soviet computer clubs for children.
The IBM team cheated. The circumstantial evidence is clear. Watch the film Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine. Kasparov never lost a match to a computer his entire career. He retired before that was possible.
@@dgontar There's no proof that IBM cheated (and yes, I've seen the documentary you refer to: It's clearly biased. Also see quote from Wikipedia below). Kasparov was simply a bad loser. In fact, he was gracious towards the IBM team until his second match, when he lost. Wikipedia: "Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle, however, called Game Over "a film with one big question and no visible attempt to find any answers."[6] Numerous reviewers criticized Game Over for being biased toward Kasparov and making accusations against IBM without presenting evidence for its claims, including Robert Koehler of Variety,[7] Kevin Crust of the Los Angeles Times,[8] Michael Booth of The Denver Post,[9] Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail,[10] Janice Page of The Boston Globe,[1] and Ned Martel of The New York Times[11]"
I like that Kasparov said as long as we have creativity we'll have an edge, the implication being making surprising moves; even though he'd also said "even if the computer foresees everything", which doesn't quite track. Oh well. I know that was a common idea at the time, and there were plenty of stories involving robots or hyper-intelligent aliens getting beaten at chess by a creative play by a human. Of course, nowadays the controversies are that it's so easy to run world-class chess algorithms, that people are cheating by surreptitiously consulting them on their phone while they play in tournaments. At least people can't do that with Go quite yet!
Garry Kasparov actually beat Deep Blue pretty handily in their first encounter a short time after this interview. Two years after that first game, though, their rematch was taken by Deep Blue, and the rest is history. Now Stockfish, the current champion Chess program, has an ELO never before obtained by humanity and presumably forever out of our reach.
@@ashleybevis9769 ha! I hadn't thought of that; now I'm imagining someone lifting a sheet of plastic in the props store to reveal a shrivelled and yellowing "seahorse", all wrinkled and shrunken from the gases escaped over the years, and touching it only for it to disintigrate in a cloud of microplastics!
That aged well... lol Great video snippet, I remember all the chitter chatter about Deep Blue back then and Kasparov and his confidence, the writing was on the wall after that...
I think to remember he complained that there was no way a computer could have made moves that required some sense of creativity. What he didn't understand is that computers can easily imitate other players patterns so that whole "computer psychology" don't apply as much as he thought.
ChatGPT: "I have programmed a human named Chuck Norris, he can beat a computer at chess by checkmating the computer and then roundhouse kicking the computer in the face to finish it off"
Nowadays, there are AlphaGo and AlphaZero. AlphaGo is better than any human chess player at Go, and AlphaZero is better than any human chess player at chess. Lots of chess engines these days are better than humans at chess e.g. Stockfish, Fritz.
The Chess Master Kasparov was playing using his brilliant human brain and as such should be playing seriously against another’s human brain, not a programmed machine except for fun. It would be preferable for two computers to play against each other, but that just wouldn’t cut it for me
In my opinion, these are the best ten chess players of all time: 1. Paul Morphy 2. J.R. Capablanca 3. Bobby Fischer 4. Magnus Carlsen 5. Garry Kasparov 6. Viswanathan Anand 7. Vladimir Kramnik 8. Hikaru Nakamura 9. Anatoly Karpov 10. Emmanuel Lasker

It took until 1997 for Deep Blue to beat Kasparov in a match, so he still had legitimate reason to be confident in 1993.

kasparov was still stronger than deep blue in 1997, but somehow tilted
Even in 2003 he drew against the then strongest chess engine

...and Go has been beaten by a computer too, AlphaGo in 2015.
Nice polystyrene sculpture, I wonder if is still around, gathering dust in the BBC props department?
Would of naturally disintegrated by now,all dust

I can’t even play Draughts 😬
Only took another 26 years for computers to beat go masters
Compared to the 2 years between computers winning over humans at checkers and chess, that is a long time.
Friday 29th October 1993
So computers have since beaten them all...
I remember and when Big Blue or whatever beat Gary Kasparov he was furious

In 1993, the Go player was pretty safe. It wasn't until 2015 that a Go computer beat a human for the first time
It seems the bbc had it out for kasparov
Hey ChatGPT, programme me a human that can beat a computer at chess.
"Computer, create an adversary who is capable of defeating Data."
ChatGPT: "I have programmed a human named Chuck Norris, he can beat a computer at chess by checkmating the computer and then roundhouse kicking the computer in the face to finish it off"
2023 and good luck beating any ai chess ai

I rate fancy a bag o minstrels, me

The guy talking about go's complexity forgot that, in chess, pieces have different moves 😂
The number of games of Go are far greater than chess.
@@Ken.- Go is more complex than chess I think.
@@ArranVid And what did I write?
It took an additional 20+ years for Go computers to overtake Go players in the same way that it overtook chess players.

Bobby Fischer was my favourite - He was honest and BASED.

9. Anatoly Karpov
10. Emmanuel Lasker
How far we have come...
