Color Quiz Answer:
Chess. When in 1996 IBM’s chess computer Deep Blue defeated chess champion Garry Kasparov it was the first time a reigning world champion had lost to a computer using regular time controls. However, Kasparov regrouped to win three and draw two of the remaining five games of the match, for a convincing victory. In May 1997, an updated version of Deep Blue defeated Kasparov 3.5-2.5 in a return match. IBM keeps a web site of the event.
