01x06 - Episode 6

[bunniefuu]

Obviously, Garry Kasparov is phenomenal

in all kinds of chess positions,

but he's particularly good at

making the opponent's cases look bad.

It looks to me like Deep Blue

isn't going to probably lose.

Draw.

We can't believe it!

Kasparov cannot believe it.

He is in shock. This was such

a fantastic chance for him,

and it just shows,

Deep Blue's true strength.

Yes! When I saw Kasparov's passed pawn,

I thought we were dead.

But Deep Blue held up!

I mean we're throwing everything we have

at him. The guy just won't break.

How did it go?

Well each time I'm winning and each time

Deep Blue finds a way out.

Deep Blue is a bad robot!

Well actually, Deep Blue might

be a good robot.

World Chess Champion,

Garry Kasparov,

the strongest player in

the game's history,

faces a showdown this weekend

with the computer Deep Blue.

Chess hasn't changed. It's the stakes

in this game that are historic.

Kasparov has said,

"it's more than a showdown".

In a way, he says "It's a defense

of the whole human race".

He is trying to put his finger

on Deep Blue.

And he has no idea what's happening now.

And I must say, he must be

a very confused World Champion.

And a big game tomorrow where he has

to defend the black pieces.

I don't remember as hot a match

Ready?

I wanna see big smiles. Okay?

Garry! Garry! Garry!

Those jerks

I can't believe they booed us!

Dozens of brilliant technicians

and programmers,

an extraordinary collection of the chess

world's grandmasters,

and the most powerful computer

ever created.

And yet we still can't manage

to beat this one man.

It's not just any man.

It's Kasparov.

Garry played White in this game.

He dominated, yes, but Deep Blue was able

to block him in the end.

For the final game, we play white.

Deep Blue has played white before.

It made no difference.

- She's always been up to par.

- No, I don't want her up to par.

I want her to win.

So, you do whatever it takes.

Because I want a victory

in this last game.

Chess is w*r.

In its purest form.

The player's goal is to destroy the mind

and soul of the opponent.

These 64 squares push our mental

capacities to their limits.

But the real question is:

can chess ultimately

make us better human beings?

So, it's okay to publish tomorrow?

You'll have to play to find out.

Thank you!

You've got a message

f*ck!

Hello. Table for one?

Talk.

What's this?

What happened in Game 6.

New York's a bit wet.

A bit chilly right now.

Well, it's a beautiful day in Florida.

I know. Do you know how I know?

I checked the weather on the internet!

- What a nerd!

- This old dog is learning some new tricks.

My darling husband talking on a cellphone

and doing a web search with a browser.

But you're much sexier in person

with that casual business look of yours!

Surprise!

You little vixen!

You know, I hate to admit it, but Brock is

right. We can't go for the draw in Game 6.

- Hi Mr. Nelson.

- Hello.

I can't picture you as a teacher.

Who do you think taught

your machine to play chess?

Deep Blue is not a bunch of teenagers

with hormones going AWOL.

Yeah. Which is exactly why

is I accepted IBM's offer.

So, for years, whenever I had

some bizarre idea, I just jotted it down.

Why didn't you bring your notes to IBM?

Because they're all bad ideas

But you never know.

That's reassuring.

- What's this?

- Cubic chess.

That one is actually

from Star Trek.

But the concept has been around

since the early 1900s.

And you play just like normal Chess?

Yeah. Almost well The challenge is that

you have to think three-dimensionally

because the pieces can move horizontally

and vertically.

Wait! Put those back.

Watch

- And you think it'll work?

- We are about to find out.

I don't want to be interrupted

by anyone except my team. Okay?

Yeah, so if there is a problem

with anything, just let me know.

Come on Garry,

beat the sh*t out of this computer!

Okay, thank you.

Roger, I need chairs for everyone.

- Garry?

- Vivian?

- Hello, pleased to meet you!

- You'll help us.

- Help you do what?

- The final game is tomorrow.

I'm going to use human intelligence

to beat Deep Blue.

I'm going to play chess against hundreds

of people online

to test various strategies.

"Kasparov versus the world".

It will be a global brainstorming session.

Okay?

Go, chairs! Please chairs!

Can you pass me the modem?

Knight E2, the bishop checks Here

We found it! We found it!

Paul found a chess opening,

unknown to Kasparov, we think.

No, no. It's not a new opening, but it's a

new concept in the Caro-Kann for White.

I think Deep Blue needs to break

some rules.

Forgo castling, leave the kind in the

middle for a while after a queen exchange.

It might not even connect its rooks.

I know, it looks bad, maybe even terrible,

I think it has hidden potential

for counterattacks.

It's subtle. Very subtle.

But it may well be enough

to rattle Garry.

Unusual opening moves, combined

with Deep Blue's brute force, and bang!

We may have found the key

to beating Kasparov!

This is this is very good.

- But risky.

- Very risky.

Could you

An opening concept

It works because it's been tested

hundreds and hundreds of times.

But if Kasparov spots a flaw that

we didn't Deep Blue's screwed.

But with Deep Blue's computing power

It will work! It's worth the risk.

The only way to win is to go all in.

- No.

- God Damnit, Helen!

- I need a real strategy. Not a Hail Mary.

- But

No, I said no.

I have someone in Japan and the States.

- France here!

- Russia and Canada.

Brazil and Hungary for me.

Italia!

- Ready?

- In Three Two One Go.

Knight to F3 Pawn to E4.

D5 and C5. Sicilian Defense.

Vivian?

Knight to C3!

D5. Roger?

Pawn to E4 and pawn to F4.

D5, Scandinavian defense

and D5, a reversed Dutch against

this Bird's opening. Alysa?

Pawn E4

And Pawn D4.

One more Sicilian with C5,

and the Dutch again with F5.

- Sofia?

- I have already played.

Let me see.

They played E4 and you replied

with C6. The Caro-Kann Defense.

That's perfect darling!

E4 and C6. Mama?

Let's take a break.

Take a break. Go. Go. Go.

This one didn't move yet.

The other one just played rook to D1.

Rook D1

Queen B2 Checkmate.

- Roger?

- Both of my players have resigned.

- Okay. New game.

- King to F1.

King F1 and rook F2. Checkmate.

6 wins, good job!

I'm looking for a strategy, not victories.

One more game please.

- Anything?

- No.

We've got nothing.

It's all the same sh*t reheated.

The real problem with Deep Blue is us.

She stands a better chance of winning

if we get out of the way.

Or maybe she

isn't an artificial intelligence

and if we hadn't have thrown

everything that we have at her,

Kasparov would have blown

her out of the water.

Maybe. That's why I should

have done the MIST test.

You had almost a year to do that before

the Rematch. Wasn't that enough?

- It wasn't an option at the time.

- Yes, and now it is too late!

I know.

You're our best chance of victory.

That's why we are gonna test

your new opening here.

If the results are conclusive,

we'll program it into Deep Blue.

I'll take the blame

if it doesn't go as we'd hope.

Come on!

Okay, go. Go. Go eat.

No. I'm staying.

- Let's go to eat.

- Yes!

- See you.

- Bye.

Nothing.

I know.

I tried everything

and I found nothing new.

Okay, rook GH8.

Knight to F1.

Knight takes F3.

So 5 wins for me and 13

for Deep Blue with the new concept.

72% victory

That's still pretty damn good!

Not against Kasparov.

I tested your novelty. Works well.

But in the middlegame, Deep Blue might not

be able to centralize the pieces properly.

There is also a flaw in the backup pawns.

It's starting to fall apart.

I hear there is a building in the middle

of the city over 100 stories high.

They even say a giant monkey lives

all the way up on top.

That's not true!

Your turn.

You're sacrificing your knight?

Did you learn that in chess school?

No, it's my own idea.

What is it?

IBM has analyzed all my professional games

but not the ones I played as a child.

This is a sacrifice that no machine,

not even Deep Blue

could possibly contemplate.

It goes against its DNA, but without this

sacrifice, Deep Blue

has no way of getting an advantage

and I can start the press for a win.

How can you be certain?

It's a huge risk.

- You should aim for a draw.

- No. no.

"In chess, setbacks and losses

are both inevitable

and essential if you're going to improve.

The art is in avoiding catastrophic losses

in the key battles". Your words, Garry.

"What separates a winner from a loser is

the willingness to do the unthinkable".

- Your words, mother.

- Liar.

You also said that.

Tomorrow, we go all in.

Today is the showdown in the chess match

between Man and Machine.

The score is tight going into this final

game between the IBM Deep Blue computer

and World Chess Champion

Garry Kasparov.

- Go, Garry!

- Thank you.

- Good morning Mr. Kasparov.

- Good morning.

These are the issues for the fans here

and around the world:

is Garry Kasparov the last human

world chess champion?

The bet here is that human creativity

still beat brute computing force.

But whoever wins, the contest

addresses big questions.

Man against Machine.

That's what it's all about.

I want Garry to k*ll that machine.

k*lling the machine won't be easy.

Mr. Kasparov is afraid of this match

today. The computer isn't afraid.

And is that going to enter into

what happen this afternoon?

He's not really afraid, he is just not

playing his dashing attacking style.

This exciting conclusion in Game 5,

ending in a draw by perpetual check

after Garry queened a pawn,

set the stage for the 6th

and final decisive game.

The score is now 1 win

a piece and three draws.

Deep Blue and Garry Kasparov played

to a draw in yesterday's 5th match

Some say Kasparov's legendary

concentration cannot be beaten

by any living being.

But it's an open question

when the opponent is a cyber being.

It will be difficult and very tense

of course,

this is his last chance with Black and

he should be a little bit daring but

My prediction is that

he'll win it somehow

because Garry always comes

back in the end.

- What do you think?

- It's great man

Come on Garry! Let's go!

- Get it Garry!

- Thanks!

- Come on Garry!

- Go Garry!

Go Garry! Yeah!

150 media organizations

are covering this event.

Millions of people are watching online.

And everyone is wandering

if Kasparov can prevail.

We're excited. The whole world is

excited. But there is no tomorrow.

This is it. The score is tight.

The winner today takes it all home.

- No pain

- No pain

Take it to him!

After Deep Blue,

in the next championships,

I'll crush all of you.

One by one.

A real opening! So, now we have to face

the fact Deep Blue

is no doubt prepared

and has quickly played D2 and D4

Kasparov has captured, which is the most

frequent move in this position,

he's captured the pawn in E4.

D takes E4. Now this move

He's now got the position

This it.

This is the critical moment.

He's prepared for the kind of battle that

we've been talking about. Strategic one.

This is the kind of situation

that often tends to draw,

best in the endgame

against this machine.

Although, the machine seems to be getting

away at the last moment every time

Now.

Deep Blue sacrificed and Kasparov

shook his head for a moment

He's shaking his head as if something

disastrous has happened.

Is it possible that Kasparov has played

incorrect theoretically?

Mommy?

Mommy?

Mommy?

Where are you?

Mommy?

And wow! Kasparov, after the move C4,

has resigned!

It's insane that Deep Blue

has won the match.

Deep blue has defeated world

champion Garry Kasparov

in an absolutely stunning,

stunning 19 mover.

And Kasparov has just

simply stormed away

This is an historic day. A bunch

of diodes and silicon named Deep Blue

defeated the world's greatest chess

champion, Garry Kasparov.

Today in New York,

the game was changed forever.

The world's greatest player has

just been wiped off the board

by IBM's Deep Blue computer.

Computer programmers are calling it "The

true beginning of the information age".

A computer has beaten world's chess

champion Garry Kasparov.

The IBM computer beat Kasparov

in a one-week six game match.

Marking the first time that Kasparov

has ever lost a chess match.

It all came down to the sixth game

which lasted only 45 minutes.

The best chess player of all time

is brought to his knees

by the electronic giant.

Humanity has lost the fight.

It doesn't say anything about Game 6.

Keep reading.

- And you think it will work?

- We are about to find out.

I don't want to be interrupted

by anyone except my team.

This is a sacrifice that not even

Deep Blue could possibly contemplate

What's going on?

We think we found Kasparov's

strategy in Game 6.

Wait, what?

He's found Deep Blue's

ultimate vulnerability.

We think he's found it.

But we are not a hundred percent sure.

- How do you know that?

- That's not important.

What's important is that

we correct this vulnerability.

We played 8 trial games

Every time Deep Blue refuses

to sacrifice and achieves nothing.

So, we need the right countermove.

Deep Blue must play what

we need her to play.

No!

No one knows with 100% certainty

if Garry will even use this tomorrow.

You're not being serious, are you?

Well, haven't you decided

on a new strategy

right before a game or in between

two moves?

- That is not the same thing!

- Well, yes, it is.

Garry may have found

a strong strategy,

but he doesn't know how

effective it will be until he tries it.

And he might get scared and decide

not to use it. We don't know.

But whatever he decides to do,

we need to be prepared.

It's not fair!

PC was right. I didn't play fair.

This wasn't IBM's doing.

This was all mine.

Grab one there

Have you seen PC?

What the hell are you doing?

Don't touch her!

- We have orders to move it!

- Order from whom?

I said from whom?

What are you gonna do to her?

- Take it apart.

- No. you don't touch her.

I need some privacy.

To say goodbye.

Okay. Sure. Whatever.

Today, there are three big letters

on everybody's lips.

IBM!

The company's stock

has reached a 10-year high.

And it's still going through the roof!

And it's all thanks to you guys.

Congratulations everyone.

To you!

Here he is!

The hero of the Rematch!

None of this would have been possible

without our dearest PC.

The hell with all of you.

f*ck you,

for dismantling my baby.

- What are you talking about

- I quit.

- Ready to leave?

- Oh we're staying another few days.

Apparently, there are some interesting

things to do in New York,

other than playing chess.

Well, you've earned it.

I've had a talk with my mother.

I'd like you to be my exclusive agent.

I'd be your only client.

One. And only.

He gladly accepts!

Once I tell my thirty other clients

I no longer work for them.

Thank you. For everything.

Thank you.

You're most welcome.

Thank you.

I wish you had told me you were planning

to take Deep Blue apart.

I was hoping for a bonus

But this is

It's your severance pay.

We've already written up a press release.

Debbie will take over.

IBM is entering a new era.

Thanks to you.

But now, as in chess,

we have to sacrifice

some pieces to move forward.

Don't fall down the stairs.

I'll catch up with you.

Take Babushka's hand.

Come! Let's go outside.

Come with me.

I'm going to ask IBM for a Rematch.

As soon as possible.

It's never going to happen, Garry.

I wish you all the best.

Take care.

Besides the speed, what's the difference

between street chess and normal chess?

Street chess is

a little more civilized.

After all this, you still wanna play?

It's an addiction.

We drew in 94.

But I never did give you a Rematch.

For over 20 years, people only remember

two things about my carrier.

That I was World Champion

and that I lost to Deep Blue.

I know.

I hope that losing the Rematch

made me a better chess player.

And a better human.

In 97, we created the future.
