Question

Computer programs that play chess first appeared in the 1960s, but these programs were no match for the top human players. It was not until 1997 that a chess computer called Deep Blue was able to narrowly defeat world champion Garry Kasparov in a series of games. Kasparov concealed his disappointment as best he could, but he could not hide the embarrassment he felt over losing to a machine. What can you infer about Garry Kasparov? He knows little about computers. He is sensitive and his feelings are easily hurt. He is a very clever man. He learned to play during the Russian Revolution.

Answer 1

It could be that he is hurt that a machine beat him at chess. In a way, playing against a machine in a game about strategy feels very patronizing and insulting considering that it has an advantage against you by simple functioning that way. Since he's an older man, he could see it as not a true competition and that computers are replacing humans.
