A New Era: How Garry Kasparov Changed the World of Chess

May, 1997. It was the match that stunned the world: Chess Champion Garry Kasparov was beaten by the massively parallel computer, Deep Blue - an opponent Kasparov had vanquished in 1996. But unlike his human opponent, Depp Blue could be redesigned in the intervening year. The result: the first "player" - Computer or human - ever to win a match against the chess genius. Kasparov's own move-by-move analysis of these games in A New Era shows just how much IBM has improved the breed, and how they were spoiling for a fight in this mementous rematch.
