Frenchman Maxime Vachier-Lagrave (22 points) sealed the title with a round to spare, thanks to a victory over a misfiring Kasparov in the 17th round. Anand, who had beaten Kasparov on the first day of the Blitz on Saturday, came up with a superb performance again to defeat the Russian legend in the 13th round on Sunday. The film was nominated for a 2003 International Documentary Association award.ZAGREB: Former world champion Viswanathan Anand finished second in the Croatia Grand Chess Tour here on Sunday with an impressive performance, accentuated by his two victories over long-time rival Garry Kasparov. Peter Hartlaub of the San Francisco Chronicle, however, called Game Over "a film with one big question and no visible attempt to find any answers." Numerous reviewers criticized Game Over for being biased toward Kasparov and making accusations against IBM without presenting evidence for its claims, including Robert Koehler of Variety, Kevin Crust of The Los Angeles Times, Michael Booth of The Denver Post, Liam Lacey of The Globe and Mail, Janice Page of The Boston Globe, and Ned Martel of The New York Times Jami Bernard of the New York Daily News called it "a nail-biter". Dennis Lim of the Village Voice called Game Over a "gripping documentary". Among the positive reviews, Lou Lumenick of the New York Post called Game Over a "solid documentary" that is "fairly suspenseful". Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine received mixed reviews from critics. The film also implies that Deep Blue's heavily promoted victory was a plot by IBM to boost the company's market value. As a metaphor for this suspicion, the film weaves in the story of the Turk, a hoax involving a chess-playing automaton built in the eighteenth century, but secretly operated by human beings. He suspected that a human player was used during the games to improve the strategic strength of the computer. Deep Blue went on to win the decisive sixth game, marking the first time in history that a computer defeated the World Champion in a match of several games.įrom this experience, particularly the second game of the match, Kasparov accused the IBM team of cheating. ![]() The next three matches ended in draws, with Kasparov appearing to weaken psychologically. ![]() At the time it was reported that both Kasparov and Deep Blue missed a perpetual check that could have given Kasparov a draw, but the strongest computer chess engines today, for example Stockfish, don't consider the final position as draw, but as having better winning chances for white, contradicting the human analysis at the time that Kasparov missed an opportunity to enter into a perpetual check. Deep Blue didn't fall for it and won to level the match. In the second game, Kasparov was struggling with the black pieces, but set a trap that most computers fall for. Kasparov won the first game of the rematch easily with the white pieces. He agreed to offer a rematch the following year. Kasparov had beaten Deep Blue, a computer designed specifically to beat him, in a match played in 1996. ![]()
