The first game to ever be played in space was Chess in June of 1970. The Soyez-9 crew (astronauts Vitaly Sevastyanov and Andrian Nikolayev) played against their ground control and made headlines worldwide. The game ultimately ended in a draw.

A computer known as โDeep Thoughtโ became the first of its kind to beat an international champion at Chess in November of 1988. It was created by Feng-Hsiung Hsu and developed at Carnegie Mellon University. It was later improved upon at IBM. https://t.co/TdQ6J5nlsR
