How does split of chain resolved?

Let's say two miners created 2 different blocks and broadcast them into the network. now some clients see blockchain 1 and other blockchain 2 which are different from each other.
I would like to understand technically as possible how in the end the majority of clients will continue with only single chain and the other be abandon?
Why will they choose one over the other?
I would like to believe this is done automatically by the clients / miners without human touch, only by some kind of coded logic. that logic is what I'm after.
