The fourth match ended in a draw after 61 moves, with Kasparov claiming that he used moves to make the computer "think out of the box".

The second game in the series of six was also a draw, with Kasparov winning game one, and Deep Junior winning game three.

In the latest game, Kasparov played with black pieces and he claimed that this put the computer at a disadvantage.

If Kasparov wins the entire match, he stands to pocket $300,000 in addition to the $500,000 he gets for just participating.
