Deep Blue thought it was winning...Why would it want force a draw?? I was talking about Deep Blue's inaccurate 44th and 45th moves: This was the position: R7/1r3kp1/1qQb1p1p/1p1PpP2/1Pp1B3/2P4P/6P1/6K1 w - - 0 44 Here Kh1 would have been a simple win, but Deep Blue played Kf1. Here is the analysis after Kh1: 44.Kh1! Rb8 45.Ra6 Qe3 46.Qxd6 Re8 47.Ra1! Qxe4 48.Ra7+ Kg8 49.Qd7+- But Deep Blue played 44. Kf1, and after 44...Rb8 it played 45. Ra6? Instead 45.Qxb6 followed by Ke2 might have been a won ending. But after 45. Ra6? the game might have drawn after 45... Qe3!
