He had several famous competitions with computers programmed to defeat him. While he won early matches against the machines, he but ultimately succumbed to advances in computer technology, losing the series to Deep Blue in 1997.  Kasparov considered the match to be unfair, as he was not allowed to view earlier games played by the computer, but all of his matches were analyzed and specifically programmed for the computer.  Kasparov requested a rematch, but was denied and his computer opponent retired.
