Rematch (2024) s01e03 Episode Script
Episode 3
1
Kasparov's played during
the second game of his match
with an IBM computer called
"Deep Blue".
He resigned in the middle of what
he considered a hopeless situation
instead of fighting for a draw".
How has he missed such an opportunity?
Kasparov now has 3 days to figure
out what went wrong.
Clearly now, the pressure's on him.
Hi, excuse me.
I'm looking for a computer store.
- Yeah. That way.
- Down there? Okay, thank you.
Garry has lost a great
deal of confidence.
He has totally underestimated
the computer in his preparation,
and then he has overestimated
the computer
The final position of the game
was a draw
Amateurs played better than I did
I shouldn't have resigned.
What the hell, man?
Absolutely unprecedented
in the history of chess,
that any champion
or former world champion
would ever resign
a drawing position
Wait! Excuse me! Wait! Wait!
- Come back tomorrow.
- 5 minutes! Look
- Hey! This guy!
- Sir!
Let him in.
Thank you.
Yes, sir?
I want to buy every computer
in your store.
Okay. One regular coffee for me, and one
"Red Eye" with a double shot of espresso,
an amount of caffeine that
no normal human being needs.
"Thank you, Paul'. "You're welcome".
"Next round's on me".
Just sit down for a sec and relax.
Enjoy your coffee.
Those lines of coding
They look like "Junk Code".
Okay
Useless or redundant code.
It's pretty common.
So No need to worry, then.
Junk Code can also be used to hide
a subprogram
or to ensure that the retro-engineering
of a function is impossible.
You've lost me.
Your coffee. This is a line of code
that has a specific purpose
that can influence Deep Blue.
But we don't want it to be discovered.
It has to be a secret. It needs to be
hidden.
This is junk code.
Didn't even take one sip.
Pawn to A5? What the hell
You had a nice middlegame position
Protect your king!
I mate you in 3 moves.
1

3
Too weak.
Too slow.
Come on
Garry, time for breakfast.
Come on
Garry.
Garry, I need to talk to you!
- Make a move Finally.
- Garry! Come on!
The game starts in two hours!
Are you planning on short-circuiting
the entire hotel?
Just an attack against the king
and it collapses.
They all run out of steam
in the middlegame. All of them!
And you had to empty our bank
account to find this out?
I had to try something!
If IBM had given us the fucking analytical
data, I wouldn't need all this!
Well, the internet amateurs found
a solution without them.
Let's go eat.
Good morning.
- Hello, Mr. Kasparov.
- Good morning.
- It's a big day today.
- Thank you.
I think it's great.
- He's not gonna sleep
- Just wait, you'll see.
He'd have slept through the night
if we had been at home.
Yeah, I know but I want to stay
at the hotel. It's just easier.
IBM's right next door. But you can go
home if you'd like. I don't mind.
It's okay with me.
What?
I hate it when you use that reverse
psychology stuff.
I'm not one of your employees.
I know. They obey me.
What did I tell you?
You know, I'm beginning
to really love chess.
It's an entire army afraid
of a woman.
Your Highness.
Four new grandmasters in the hotel.
All rivals of mine. Why are they here?
- Can you keep your voice down?
- Stop fucking around with me.
We invited them. They're our guests.
And we may ask them for a little help
- You have no right!
- We can work with whomever we want
Paul is your adviser.
Nothing in our contract prevents IBM
from adding new members to the team.
Now Game will start soon. We should get
ready. I suggest you do the same.
Fucking bullshit.
Look, I don't really understand this
business about the analytical data.
- What exactly do you need them for?
- Oh, Debbie please!
Don't play these littles games with me.
You are perfectly well aware
of the value of this data.
We've only been requesting
it for months.
Well, I'm just an assistant.
I truly doubt that.
Mrs. Brock is playing with us.
Make her aware that if my client
doesn't get this data,
there will be very unfortunate
consequences for IBM.
I'll take care of everything, Mr. Laver.
Thank you.
When?
You know, the more I think about it,
the more I'm just convinced
that these Junk Codes are just
a simulation
designed to launch a nuclear attack.
Like in "Wargames".
Very funny.
Nice bit of luck the other day
There is no such thing as luck in chess.
We won because of our strategy.
You won a battle.
You never won the war.
We're working on it.
Remind me, how long ago was
your last championship victory?
Like 8 years ago, wasn't it?
Please follow me.
So, the pause strategy you added
in Game 2 Why did you delete it?
Because it was borderline unfair. Also,
I found inconsistencies in her software.
- Lines of coding I don't recognize.
- So?
No one can play around with my machine
and my coding without my permission.
"My machine". "My coding".
"My permission".
It's quite a bit possessive,
don't you think?
Yes, because Deep Blue is his.
IBM's logos on that machine.
Which means it belongs to us.
The "pause" function
has been reactivated.
And the Grandmasters have entered
some new strategies into Deep Blue.
Mrs. Brock?
Kasparov's agent insists
on getting that data.
Man and Machine are still tight.
World chess champion Garry Kasparov
and Deep Blue,
IBM's chess playing supercomputer,
battled to their
One international chess master watching
the game said Deep Blue
squeezed Kasparov like an anaconda.
As the computer took Game 2
and tight the score 1 even.
There are 4 more games to go.
And now the stage is set
for this match.
- Enough. You're tired.
- I'm fine.
It's no good if you run out of steam
in the middle of the game,
like all of your computers.
Garry?
You're a genius.
Ready for this?
He's never done that before
Paul, why is the audience reacting?
Garry has never played
this opening move before.
In a 20-year carrier and thousands
of games played,
he has never played D3
as his opening move.
It's only the first move,
for Christ's sake!
There is a problem. Deep Blue's having
a hard time figuring out the next move.
Shit, I still don't get it.
Why start with D3 and not C4?
The Miese's opening.
Kasparov started with
pawn D3 to get Deep Blue
out of his opening preparation
and make her sweat for the get go.
It's pure anticomputer chess.
Now, it's morphed into an English opening.
A kind of closed Sicilian in reverse.
So, he's trying to push Deep Blue
to her limits.
Deep Blue excels at opening
and endgame.
She has deeply researched openings,
and her brute force search is deadly when
they are fewer pieces on the board.
But the middlegame has always
been her weakness.
So, each of Kasparov's moves is aimed
at forcing Deep Blue
to make more and more calculations.
He's trying to push her to the brink
of her computing power.
And he's patiently just gonna wait
for the machine to crash,
make a mistake,
and then he will launch a counterattack.
Deep Blue can calculate
200 million moves a second.
It doesn't make a difference.
Even if Kasparov can only see 100 moves,
if they are the right moves,
he'll have the upper hand.
And if there is one person in the world
who can find those moves, it's Kasparov.
Go! Go!
My son doesn't know.
My husband doesn't know.
Garry seems in complete control.
Yeah, I think so.
Deep Blue seems stuck.
Draw.
Garry!
That was a great game.
- I had her up against the ropes, damnit!
- But at least it was a draw.
I don't give a shit about a draw.
I need a victory!
I had Deep Blue cornered
and out of nowhere, it found a way out.
How is it possible?
What?
Okay. I understand, this wasn't a win
But still, I'm very proud of Deep Blue.
She played very well
Mr. Kasparov Mr. Kasparov!
Has your opinion of Deep Blue
changed since Game 1?
Has it deepened?
It's certainly deeper than in Game 1.
I'm no computer specialist, but
I think something truly unbelievable has
been going on since this Rematch began.
What do you mean by "unbelievable"?
Deep Blue doesn't feel like a machine.
It's playing differently.
I'm not sure I understand.
What are you really saying, sir?
This reminds me of Diego Maradona's
famous World Cup goal in 86.
He had said that it was
the work of the "Hand of God".
Are you suggesting there was
a human intervention during the game?
- Is IBM intervening?
- What are you implying, Mr. Kasparov?
- Are you suggesting
- Can you please comment further?
What does that mean?
In 1986, during
the World Cup 1/4 Final Game,
Diego Maradona scored the first goal.
He claimed he scored with his head,
but the video replay showed he actually
used his fist,
which is illegal in football
In soccer.
When he was called on it, he simply
replied, "That was the hand of God".
This is a serious accusation.
- You fucking bastard!
- I'm the bastard?
- You're the ones cheating!
- Cheaters? There are no cheaters here!
Just people like PC who's given blood,
sweat and tears into creating Deep Blue.
People have given everything
to raise this machine
I'm just telling like I see it!
And what I've seen are secrets and lies
ever since the Rematch began.
- You're a disgrace to chess!
- Fucking asshole!
- Hold it!
- Stop it!
If you have nothing to hide, put Deep Blue
on the stage in front of me. Like in 96.
So, I can be sure no one
is playing for her.
He is absolutely right.
The machine should be on stage.
Bishop takes E3,
followed by knight F6.
If pawn takes, there's simply bishop B4,
and we get back to pawn on D5.
Nevertheless, B5 looks cleaner
to support the bishop in C4.
That's the 1962 Game?
We're using it as an example on how
to take the initiative
on the queen's side in the Najdorf
to hone Deep Blue's middlegame.
We prioritize keeping the pawn's structure
intact and control the center,
it might confound Kasparov.
That's absurd.
This strategy has worked before.
It's standard.
It's traditional.
It's cliché.
Garry is at on top of the chess world
for the past 12 years,
because these same old strategies
just keep being applied
over and over and over again.
I mean, no one No one has played more
games against Deep Blue than I have.
And one thing is for certain:
this electronic monster
doesn't think like we do.
She delves deeper into the heart of chess
than any player ever has.
Kasparov must never understand this.
Before each move, he needs
to be doubting his own strategy.
Okay And how do we achieve that?
I think playing the Najdorf variation is
a good idea, but we have to go further.
Much, much further.
Because if we wanna help Deep Blue,
then we have to delve deeper into
the heart of chess just like she does.
I know the Bishop G5 variation can trouble
Black, but I have some improvements.
I've been analyzing the main variation
of the poisoned pawn for a while now,
but I can't make them work.
So maybe we just have to switch
to the Polugaevsky.
Let's try.
Are you ready for Wall Street?
I'm in no mood for this.
Where is my mother?
She isn't coming. She wants to look at
something other than chessboards all day.
And she says you should wear your
grey jacket for the exhibition.
The CEOs are looking forward to this.
All right. I will.
I'll call you there.
- My daughter adores you.
- Thank you.
How much for private lessons?
Sorry, I don't give private lessons.
Give me a price.
Money means nothing to me.
You're right.
Money means nothing.
Hello, Alisa!
I'd prefer if we speak English.
It's been years since I put my hands
in the dirt. That plant is lovely.
Every year, Garry sends me one,
to celebrate Women's Day.
When Springs come, I plant it,
but it never survives the winter.
I know Garry doesn't really send them.
He'd never think of something like that.
It's you.
Before you even ask,
Sofia is at a friend's house.
She won't be back
until late this evening.
My lawyer was clear.
I don't want anything to do with Garry.
And I would like to stop
forcing your way into our lives.
Sofia doesn't miss her father?
During our marriage, do you know how many
holidays and birthdays Garry missed?
Too many.
My daughter has everything she needs.
Thank you very much.
I've been watching the Rematch on TV.
With each game, it seems like Garry
gets more lost.
My daughter will not be
his lifeline.
You should have told the cab
driver to wait. I'll call you another one.
Well, gentlemen
Did we enjoy the challenge?
I was expecting quicker,
more spectacular victories.
Sometimes chess is like love.
You need to make the pleasure last.
It's a draw for me.
I think you might find Garry has
more than one trick up his sleeve.
He may surprise you.
No, it's draw. He didn't see through my
strategy. Just like against Deep Blue.
Play.
I could have beaten you on the 8th,
9th, 13th or 16th move.
Checkmate.
If you run your businesses with the same
pathetic approach you used today,
it's gonna fucking crash.
Asshole.
It's It's been a rough week.
Excuse me.
Congratulations,
you just lost us a ton of sponsorships.
- I couldn't care less.
- What was the point of humiliating him?
Instead of lecturing me,
be my agent and do your job.
Even better:
why not even being a good agent?
I've had a very long carrier, Garry!
Very long!
I played professional tennis,
I've run umpteen businesses,
I promoted big international events, and
I was successful in everything I ever did.
And you wanna know why?
Because I knew when to be diplomatic
and when to tighten the screws.
And I always knew when to tell
someone the honest truth.
You are acting like a petty, narcissistic,
entitled, arrogant fool
who thinks the world owes him everything
just because he is good at chess.
I have seen loads of athletes like you.
And most of them end up bitter
and penniless.
Now, if you don't think I'm good
for you and your carrier
Then you know what to do.
IBM, good afternoon.
Hello.
Hello, I'm here to see
George Silverman please?
Do you have an appointment?
No, but I'm Garry Kasparov's agent.
He'll see me.
- Mr. Silverman is a very busy man.
- And I'm normally a very patient one.
But not today. Please tell him Roger Laver
is here to see him. Thank you.
Mr. Laver. Mr. Silverman will see
you know. You can go up.
- Mr. Laver!
- Mr. Silverman!
- This Rematch is absolutely fantastic!
- It is, isn't it?
Kasparov is astounding!
- Deep Blue is not so bad either!
- Well, please
Listen, do you like chess?
I prefer Baseball.
But I'm learning to appreciate the sport.
"Sport" is the appropriate term.
You know, when first met Garry,
I thought chess was just a game.
I soon find out, it's anything but.
And as in any sport,
there is a lot of money involved.
We have already put up a grant
of one million dollars.
It's a bit late in the day
to start negotiating.
I'm talking about IBM's stock price,
George.
It's been steadily rising ever
since the Rematch began.
And after my client lost Game 2
It's skyrocketed.
- I can only imagine if Deep Blue wins
- What exactly do you want?
The analytical data from Deep Blue's
official games.
We've been asking for months. Garry
needs it to compete on equal footing.
He should take himself with Mrs. Brock.
She is the one who knows
We already have. Several times.
And we are still waiting.
Either Garry gets those printouts before
Game 4 or the Rematch is over.
I don't know anyone who would jeopardize
a million dollars for a few printouts.
Well, you clearly don't know Kasparov.
The real question is
whether you're willing to see your stock
price take a nosedive.
Come on, come on, talk to me.
Come on! Right here! Right here!
Give me that!
Come here!
Let's go for a run.
Okay. Time to go back.
Garry
Why did you agree to the Rematch?
Where are you going?
I need to walk.
But the doctor says you are still weak.
You can hurt yourself.
Daddy!
I'm okay!
I need objectives, Garry.
That's what keeps me alive.
Do you understand?
If I give up, I die.
3 more miles.
Mr. Kasparov, the game should have
started 20 minutes ago.
The TV networks
are getting really impatient.
No printout, no game.
We have your analytical data.
It's on the IBM's floor.
Sir.
What the hell is this?
Game 2's 37th move.
The one that gave Deep Blue its victory.
- It's a big "Fuck you" from IBM!
- Yeah.
- Paul What's going on?
- I have no idea.
But come with me
I've got to show you something.
I did some more research
on the "Junk Codes".
It almost looks like an 802.11 protocol.
A system called
"Wireless Fidelity" or WIFI.
It's a way to send and receive information
without cables or wires.
So, like, Internet just traveling
through the air?
Yeah or no.
Or yeah.
That's not what the issue is.
Okay. So what is it?
Either someone is entering code
behind our backs
Or Deep Blue is developing
code on her own.
To push her limits.
Expand her knowledge.
On her own.
We cancel everything until they give us
what we asked for.
Win or lose, you have
to fight on equal footing.
I accepted the Rematch
because I'm scared.
In 96, when Deep Blue
beat me in the first game
For the first time in my entire career,
I felt fear.
If artificial intelligence triumphs
what will become of chess?
What will become of me?
As I said repeatedly,
the answer is "No".
All right. Goodbye.
Where is he going?
- Is he all right?
- No.
Garry
Garry!

the World Cup 1/4 Final Game,
Diego Maradona scored the first goal.
He claimed he scored with his head,
but the video replay showed he actually
used his fist,
which is illegal in football
In soccer.
When he was called on it, he simply
replied, "That was the hand of God".
This is a serious accusation.
- You fucking bastard!
- I'm the bastard?
- You're the ones cheating!
- Cheaters? There are no cheaters here!
Just people like PC who's given blood,
sweat and tears into creating Deep Blue.
People have given everything
to raise this machine
I'm just telling like I see it!
And what I've seen are secrets and lies
ever since the Rematch began.
- You're a disgrace to chess!
- Fucking asshole!
- Hold it!
- Stop it!
If you have nothing to hide, put Deep Blue
on the stage in front of me. Like in 96.
So, I can be sure no one
is playing for her.
He is absolutely right.
The machine should be on stage.
Bishop takes E3,
followed by knight F6.
If pawn takes, there's simply bishop B4,
and we get back to pawn on D5.
Nevertheless, B5 looks cleaner
to support the bishop in C4.
That's the 1962 Game?
We're using it as an example on how
to take the initiative
on the queen's side in the Najdorf
to hone Deep Blue's middlegame.
We prioritize keeping the pawn's structure
intact and control the center,
it might confound Kasparov.
That's absurd.
This strategy has worked before.
It's standard.
It's traditional.
It's cliché.
Garry is at on top of the chess world
for the past 12 years,
because these same old strategies
just keep being applied
over and over and over again.
I mean, no one No one has played more
games against Deep Blue than I have.
And one thing is for certain:
this electronic monster
doesn't think like we do.
She delves deeper into the heart of chess
than any player ever has.
Kasparov must never understand this.
Before each move, he needs
to be doubting his own strategy.
Okay And how do we achieve that?
I think playing the Najdorf variation is
a good idea, but we have to go further.
Much, much further.
Because if we wanna help Deep Blue,
then we have to delve deeper into
the heart of chess just like she does.
I know the Bishop G5 variation can trouble
Black, but I have some improvements.
I've been analyzing the main variation
of the poisoned pawn for a while now,
but I can't make them work.
So maybe we just have to switch
to the Polugaevsky.
Let's try.
Are you ready for Wall Street?
I'm in no mood for this.
Where is my mother?
She isn't coming. She wants to look at
something other than chessboards all day.
And she says you should wear your
grey jacket for the exhibition.
The CEOs are looking forward to this.
All right. I will.
I'll call you there.
- My daughter adores you.
- Thank you.
How much for private lessons?
Sorry, I don't give private lessons.
Give me a price.
Money means nothing to me.
You're right.
Money means nothing.
Hello, Alisa!
I'd prefer if we speak English.
It's been years since I put my hands
in the dirt. That plant is lovely.
Every year, Garry sends me one,
to celebrate Women's Day.
When Springs come, I plant it,
but it never survives the winter.
I know Garry doesn't really send them.
He'd never think of something like that.
It's you.
Before you even ask,
Sofia is at a friend's house.
She won't be back
until late this evening.
My lawyer was clear.
I don't want anything to do with Garry.
And I would like to stop
forcing your way into our lives.
Sofia doesn't miss her father?
During our marriage, do you know how many
holidays and birthdays Garry missed?
Too many.
My daughter has everything she needs.
Thank you very much.
I've been watching the Rematch on TV.
With each game, it seems like Garry
gets more lost.
My daughter will not be
his lifeline.
You should have told the cab
driver to wait. I'll call you another one.
Well, gentlemen
Did we enjoy the challenge?
I was expecting quicker,
more spectacular victories.
Sometimes chess is like love.
You need to make the pleasure last.
It's a draw for me.
I think you might find Garry has
more than one trick up his sleeve.
He may surprise you.
No, it's draw. He didn't see through my
strategy. Just like against Deep Blue.
Play.
I could have beaten you on the 8th,
9th, 13th or 16th move.
Checkmate.
If you run your businesses with the same
pathetic approach you used today,
it's gonna fucking crash.
Asshole.
It's It's been a rough week.
Excuse me.
Congratulations,
you just lost us a ton of sponsorships.
- I couldn't care less.
- What was the point of humiliating him?
Instead of lecturing me,
be my agent and do your job.
Even better:
why not even being a good agent?
I've had a very long carrier, Garry!
Very long!
I played professional tennis,
I've run umpteen businesses,
I promoted big international events, and
I was successful in everything I ever did.
And you wanna know why?
Because I knew when to be diplomatic
and when to tighten the screws.
And I always knew when to tell
someone the honest truth.
You are acting like a petty, narcissistic,
entitled, arrogant fool
who thinks the world owes him everything
just because he is good at chess.
I have seen loads of athletes like you.
And most of them end up bitter
and penniless.
Now, if you don't think I'm good
for you and your carrier
Then you know what to do.
IBM, good afternoon.
Hello.
Hello, I'm here to see
George Silverman please?
Do you have an appointment?
No, but I'm Garry Kasparov's agent.
He'll see me.
- Mr. Silverman is a very busy man.
- And I'm normally a very patient one.
But not today. Please tell him Roger Laver
is here to see him. Thank you.
Mr. Laver. Mr. Silverman will see
you know. You can go up.
- Mr. Laver!
- Mr. Silverman!
- This Rematch is absolutely fantastic!
- It is, isn't it?
Kasparov is astounding!
- Deep Blue is not so bad either!
- Well, please
Listen, do you like chess?
I prefer Baseball.
But I'm learning to appreciate the sport.
"Sport" is the appropriate term.
You know, when first met Garry,
I thought chess was just a game.
I soon find out, it's anything but.
And as in any sport,
there is a lot of money involved.
We have already put up a grant
of one million dollars.
It's a bit late in the day
to start negotiating.
I'm talking about IBM's stock price,
George.
It's been steadily rising ever
since the Rematch began.
And after my client lost Game 2
It's skyrocketed.
- I can only imagine if Deep Blue wins
- What exactly do you want?
The analytical data from Deep Blue's
official games.
We've been asking for months. Garry
needs it to compete on equal footing.
He should take himself with Mrs. Brock.
She is the one who knows
We already have. Several times.
And we are still waiting.
Either Garry gets those printouts before
Game 4 or the Rematch is over.
I don't know anyone who would jeopardize
a million dollars for a few printouts.
Well, you clearly don't know Kasparov.
The real question is
whether you're willing to see your stock
price take a nosedive.
Come on, come on, talk to me.
Come on! Right here! Right here!
Give me that!
Come here!
Let's go for a run.
Okay. Time to go back.
Garry
Why did you agree to the Rematch?
Where are you going?
I need to walk.
But the doctor says you are still weak.
You can hurt yourself.
Daddy!
I'm okay!
I need objectives, Garry.
That's what keeps me alive.
Do you understand?
If I give up, I die.
3 more miles.
Mr. Kasparov, the game should have
started 20 minutes ago.
The TV networks
are getting really impatient.
No printout, no game.
We have your analytical data.
It's on the IBM's floor.
Sir.
What the hell is this?
Game 2's 37th move.
The one that gave Deep Blue its victory.
- It's a big "Fuck you" from IBM!
- Yeah.
- Paul What's going on?
- I have no idea.
But come with me
I've got to show you something.
I did some more research
on the "Junk Codes".
It almost looks like an 802.11 protocol.
A system called
"Wireless Fidelity" or WIFI.
It's a way to send and receive information
without cables or wires.
So, like, Internet just traveling
through the air?
Yeah or no.
Or yeah.
That's not what the issue is.
Okay. So what is it?
Either someone is entering code
behind our backs
Or Deep Blue is developing
code on her own.
To push her limits.
Expand her knowledge.
On her own.
We cancel everything until they give us
what we asked for.
Win or lose, you have
to fight on equal footing.
I accepted the Rematch
because I'm scared.
In 96, when Deep Blue
beat me in the first game
For the first time in my entire career,
I felt fear.
If artificial intelligence triumphs
what will become of chess?
What will become of me?
As I said repeatedly,
the answer is "No".
All right. Goodbye.
Where is he going?
- Is he all right?
- No.
Garry
Garry!
Garry!
Garry!
