1996. Garry Kasparov, the undisputed world chess champion, faces the computer DEEP BLUE. Helen Brock, vice president at IBM, convinces Garry to participate in the rematch of the century. This time, Deep Blue will be a much more formidable opponent. Garry could well face the first artificial intelligence. What was a scientific experiment becomes a Human vs. Machine fight.

Kasparov has lost Round 2. A computer has beaten one of the most intelligent human beings on the planet. Psychological warfare is launched on and off the chessboard. Desperate, seeking victory at all costs, Helen Brock ignores the advice of Paul and P.C. The acrimonious reports shake up the foundations of the rematch.
