Beyond the chessboard, "Rematch" unravels the intense, true-life psychological thriller of Garry Kasparov's 1997 defeat by Deep Blue.
In 1996, world chess champion Garry Kasparov faced off against Deep Blue, a supercomputer developed by IBM, in a historic six-game match. Kasparov emerged victorious with a score of 4-2. But in a shocking turn of events during the 1997 rematch in New York, Deep Blue defeated Kasparov 3½-2½.
