FOOTER






Game 2: Final position

Kasparov defeats Deep Blue to even the match, 1 - 1

In game two, Garry Kasparov was able to find a solution for Deep Blue's ruthless power of calculation. But the world champion had to call upon all of his precision and persistence to win. Kasparov, playing white, played what the commentators called a "Reverse Gruenfeld" (link to chess glossary) opening. His overall strategy could be characterized by the term prophylaxis (link to chess glossary), or an elimination of any possible initiative by Deep Blue, combined with the fortification of his king in an inviolable position. In the end, after a forced exchange of queens, Kasparov's passed pawn on the h file would inevitably march to promotion, since Deep Blue's only remaining blocker was the lone black bishop. Deep Blue's operator resigned for the computer on the 73rd move.
