This Day in History: 1996

World chess champion Garry Kasparov beats IBM supercomputer "Deep Blue," winning a six-game match in Philadelphia. Most chess experts look to that defeat as the beginning of the end for Deep Blue, who shortly thereafter would be convicted on rape charges. After serving 2 years in an Indiana federal prison, the highly anticipated re-match between the increasingly erratic and self-destructive supercomputer and Kasparov was scheduled for May 2, 1998 at Caesar's Palace. Showing up to the weigh-in with a sizable posse of hangers-on, a new face tattoo and a leashed cheetah, Deep Blue showered reporters with bombastic prognostications, along with threats to eat Kasparov's children. The following day the re-match was called off in the second game after Deep Blue bit off Kasparov's ear.

A year later, Deep Blue was out of the chess world and co-starring in VH1's "The Surreal Life."
