MP3 of the Day

On this day in 1996, world chess champion Gary Kasparov lost the first game of a six-game chess match against Deep Blue, an IBM computer capable of evaluating 200 million moves per second. The game had lasted three hours. Kasparov ultimately won the match with three wins, two ties, and one loss. An estimated 6 million people worldwide followed the action on the internet. In 2003, Kasparov battled another computer program, "Deep Junior." The match ended in a tie. Kasparov retired from professional chess in 2005. Today we have a great song called Fun by Sourpatch from the album, Crushin' released on HHBTM Records.
