The amiable Grandmaster Yasser Seirawan introduces a staggering 3 hrs & 46mins of footage covering all elements of the 'Royal Game'. Split into four study segments, and containing 44 scene links, the DVD covers everything from how to set the men up to discussions of Space, Force and Time in chess.
In May 1997 Garry Kasparov, widely regarded as the greatest chess player the world has ever seen, played Deep Blue - a hulking, one-and-a-half ton IBM supercomputer - in a chess match and 'scientific experiment'. International interest in the match had exploded. The epic battle of Man Vs Machine had captured people's imaginations. And the outcome was stunning. To win the match the computer did what many thought impossible at the time, it appeared to think like a human. Directed by mutli-award winning filmmaker Vikram Jayanti, Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine takes us on a gripping cinematic odyssey into the mindscape of a legendary chess genius as Kasparov battles to come to terms with the machine form IBM.
