Included at No 4 in seven sporting disasters is Kasparov v Deep Blue. On the positive side chess is obviously seen as a sport.

They have engaged in calculating odds for sporting encounters for some years.

Gordon is right.
A computer does not even know it is playing a game.
Fast forward to today and last heard Deep Blue is selling
airline tickets whilst Gary is pushing to be president of FIDE.
Swap them. Let Deep Blue run things and stick Gary behind the counter at Heathrow.

That not only applies to a computer in some cases.
