A Wikipedia-cited piece of AI history shared by kellerjordan0: after losing his 1997 match to IBM's Deep Blue, Garry Kasparov accused the IBM team of cheating, alleging that a grandmaster (presumably a top rival) was behind certain moves. The attached screenshot shows Game 2's final position, where Kasparov resigned despite analysis showing he could have held a draw; he repeated the claim in a later documentary.
