==Kasparov versus the World (chess game played with computer assistance)== {{Main|Kasparov versus the World}} In 1999, [[Garry Kasparov]] played a chess game called "Kasparov versus the World" over the [[Internet]], hosted by the [[MSN Gaming Zone]]. Both sides used computer (chess engine) assistance. The "World Team" included the participation of over 50,000 people from more than 75 countries, deciding their moves by [[plurality vote]]. The game lasted four months, ending after Kasparov's 62nd move when he announced a forced [[checkmate]] in 28 moves found with the computer program [[Junior (chess program)|Deep Junior]]. The World Team voters resigned on October 22. After the game, Kasparov said: "It is the greatest game in the history of chess. The sheer number of ideas, the complexity, and the contribution it has made to chess make it the most important game ever played."<ref>Harding, T. (2002).
