On May 2nd, 1997, Garry Kasparov, arguably the greatest human chess player ever, sat down in New York City to do battle with IBM’s chess-playing computer, Deep Blue. While the much hyped match of man versus machine consisted of six chess games over nine days, there are many who would claim the entire contest was decided in just one move. This short documentary tells the epic tale of how mankind lost to the machine and highlighting what may have been man’s ultimate downfall…having emotions.
