In 1997 Russian chess master Garry Kasparov lost a highly publicized series of matches to an IBM computer named Deep Blue. The computer used artificial intelligence to process 200 million chess moves per second in developing its strategy. This was the first time that an international chess grand master had lost a series to a computer, suggesting to some observers that advances in artificial intelligence may be surpassing human capacity in some areas.
