Born in Baku, Azerbaijan, in the Soviet Union in 1963, Garry Kasparov won the world under-18 and under-20 chess championships at ages 12 and 17, respectively. He became the youngest world chess champion in history in 1985 at the age of 22, catapulting him to international renown. His well-known chess matches in 1996 and 1997 versus the IBM
supercomputer Deep Blue were essential in popularising chess and artificial intelligence.
