	Movies - Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine

Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine is a 2003 documentary film by Vikram Jayanti about reigning chess World Champion Garry Kasparov and Deep Blue, a chess-playing computer.

In 1997, Kasparov played his second chess match against Deep Blue, a computer designed specifically to beat Kasparov in chess. In the second game, Kasparov set a trap that most computers fall for. Deep Blue didn't fall for it. From this experience, Kasparov suspected IBM, the creator of Deep Blue, of cheating by using a human player during the game to increase the strategic strength of the computer. (The film also implies that Deep Blue's heavily promoted victory was a ploy by IBM to boost its market value.) Deep Blue went on to win the match in the sixth game, marking the first time in history that a computer defeated the World Champion in a match of several games.

The film was nominated for a 2003 International Documentary Association award.
