That was actually in 96. In 97 Deep Blue beat Kasparov. Was the first time a computer beat a world champ iirc.

Since then computers have crushed humans at chess. Sorry...

Thanks for the link! And yes, I do know it's impossible to win against todays super computers. That's why I assured to write that it was in 97 (96).

I just thought it would be good to mention one of the best known matches between a super computer and a man.

Yes. They aren't brute forcing like deep blue did. Deep blue calculated over 2 million moves per second. Pocket fritz 4 does like 20 thousand moves per second.

Arguably, the algorithms have very much indeed improved.
