Game 2 is over, and Kasparov resigned on move 39! The match stands at 1.5 - 0.5, in favor of the machine!
This was quite a game. Kasparov had black, it started out as the classic Ruy Lopez, but kinda morphed into a King's Indian, with White pushing pawns and attacking up its Queen side, and Black pushing pawns and attacking up its King side.
It was a swirling melee, but in the confusion, facing time pressure, Kasparov blundered on move 32 with Rg7. Things fell apart there, with White seizing the opening and charging ahead.
Black was in a fairly decent position before that, mounting a good attack on the King side. But the computer played well through all the possibilities.
In his previous matches against the computers, Kasparov has had trouble with black and running into time pressure. He's made time-induced blunders before with black.
Next game is Sunday. Kasparov will have white.
