Game Over: Kasparov and the Machine

Game Over Kasparov and the Machine is a 2003 documentary film by Vikram Jayanti about the match between Garry Kasparov, the highest rated chess player in history at the time and the World Champion foryears 19852000, and Deep Blue, a chessplaying computer created by IBM. It was coproduced by Alliance Atlantis and the National Film Board of Canada.

From this experience, particularly the second game of the match, Kasparov accused the IBM team of cheating. He suspected that a human player was used during the games to improve the strategic strength of the computer. As a metaphor for this suspicion, the film weaves in the story of the Turk, a hoax involving a chessplaying automaton built in the eighteenth century, but secretly operated by human beings. The film also implies that Deep Blues heavily promoted victory was a plot by IBM to boost the companys market value.Game Over Kasparov and the Machine received mixed reviews from critics. Among the positive reviews, Lou Lumenick of the New York Post called Game Over a solid documentary thats fairly suspenseful. Dennis Lim of the Village Voice called Game Over a gripping documentary. Jami Bernard of the New York Daily News called it a nailbiter. ........
