Kasparov vs. Deep Junior. In order to thwart Deep Juniors extensive chess database and ability to analyse 3 million moves a second, Kasporov has been employing risky unorthodox moves. In an article in the Globe and Mail Kasparove is quoted as "I think I made a brilliant move to get Deep Junior out of book and make it think on its own. If you play aggressive chess and throw in a little twist you can get great positions against the strongest computer programs." Of additional note the end of the article states "Deep Junior was so stumped by an off-book Kasparov move that it spent 25 minutes mulling its next move before appearing to black out. Although times limits were not a concern, a minor panic gripped the members of the programming team as they debated whether to reboot the computer, before somebody realized that the problem was simply that Deep Junior's screensaver had activated. They moved the mouse, and the screen came back on."
