1. e4
In Game 2, Deep Blue (The Computer) is now playing as white. It starts of with King's pawn to e4. The makers of "Deep Blue" also added in new programs after its lose to Kasparov the day before. They downloaded more games of Grandmaster playing to its brain. Now Deep Blue is fully ready.

 
1... e5
Many great players use pawn to e5 to start out against e4. I however, stick to the french defense (e6) which works well in all my games.

 
2. Nf3
Deep Blue uses the Kings knight opening and attackings blacks pawn on e5.

 
2... Nc6
Kasparov continues to play the King's pawn game.

 
3. Bb5
Ruy Lopez or the "Spanish Opening."

 
3... a6 4. Ba4 Nf6
Garry Kasparov continues the Spanish Game and adds a Morphy Defense by playing Nf6. This attacks whites pawn on e4.

 
5. O-O
Both players seem to continue the Spanish Game as Deep Blue improves his King's safety by castling.

 
5... Be7
Kasparov plays a Closed defense by playing Be7. This also makes way for a future castling.

 
6. Re1 b5
Kasparov attacks Deep Blue's Bishop on a4.

 
7. Bb3
Forcing Deep Blue to retreat his piece, however now that Bishop is in good attacking position as it now attacks blacks pawn on f7.

 
7... d6 8. c3 O-O
Kasparov castles. Here he could have played Ng4 or Bg4. Both would be attacks.

 
9. h3
Deep Blue plays h3. This move disables Kasparov's knight/bishop from moving to the g4 square, as they would then be taken.

 
9... h6 10. d4
White attacks black's center.

 
10... Re8
At this point, Deep Blue (white) has a decent lead in this game. Kasparov has been playing well, but Deep Blue is just playing magnificent.

 
11. Nbd2 Bf8 12. Nf1 Bd7 13. Ng3 Na5
Here, Kasparov plays Na5. In my mind this is not the best move. I think he should have taken whites pawn on d4 and lost some center control/position. This move however does attack whites bishop on b3.

 
14. Bc2 c5
Looking to attack whites center, Kasparov plays pawn to c5. He has fought himself back into this game.

 
15. b3 Nc6 16. d5
Deep Blue continues to push and attack Kasparov's pieces.

 
16... Ne7 17. Be3 Ng6 18. Qd2 Nh7 19. a4
Still pushing like it did in the last game, Deep Blue plays a2-a4. This sets up an attack on b5, trying to free up its rook on a1.

 
19... Nh4 20. Nxh4
Finally after 19 moves, they decide to swap.

 
20... Qxh4
Ill let you look at the next moves ahead and think about each ones yourself.
