Game 3: Final position

Deep Blue forces a Draw
After exchanging wins in games 1 and 2, Deep Blue and Garry Kasparov played to a draw to leave the match tied at 1.5-1.5 after three-and-a-half hours of trench warfare. Deep Blue, playing White, tried to capitalize on an early initiative, but was unable to gain any edge due to Kasparov's stalwart defense. Playing the Sicilian (link to chess glossary), Kasparov engaged the computer in a wholesale liquidation, skipping the middlegame and jumping into a straightforward endgame. Even though Kasparov built an edge in position, the computer played skillfully enough to neutralize any positional maneuvering, thereby forcing a draw.
