Playing white in the second game, Kasparov took Deep Thought's queen in move 18. The computer hung on for 19 more moves before resigning.
NEW YORK--It was a battle of world chess champions--human vs. computer--and the mind proved mightier than the microchip. For now.
The world champion, 26-year-old Garri Kasparov, coasted to two victories Sunday over Deep Thought, a chess-playing computer that can analyze more than 700,000 moves a second.
Kasparov said at first he missed the psychological tension and energy of a human opponent. But then he "felt a burst of energy from the audience wanting me to really crush the computer. Because we all have something in common--we are all human beings."
The 1989 World Computer Chess champion retired from the first game after Kasparov's 52nd move.
