Join chess enthusiast Björn Knöppel for a clear, engaging and insightful 45-minute exploration of one of the most dramatic moments in chess history: Garry Kasparov’s sensational 19-move loss with Black in the Caro–Kann Defence to IBM’s supercomputer Deep Blue in 1997.

Knöppel offers an accessible walk-through of the 1997 match while also revisiting the closely related 1996 encounter. He discusses each game verbally before carefully analysing, in detail, the decisive game that Kasparov lost — highlighting strategic ideas, psychological turning points and the broader significance of the event.
Presented in a friendly, welcoming and informative style, this video is suitable for viewers of all levels — from newcomers to long-time chess enthusiasts — and provides historical context as well as fresh insights into a match that reshaped the relationship between humans and machines forever.
