It was a massively parallel, 30-node, RS/6000, SP-based computer system enhanced with 480 special purpose VLSI chess chips. The system derived its playing strength mainly out of brute force computing power. The name is a play on Deep Thought and Big Blue, IBM's nickname. Hsu joined IBM (Research division) in 1989 and worked with Murray Campbell on parallel computing problems. The project was started as "ChipTest" at Carnegie Mellon University by Feng-hsiung Hsu the computer system produced was named Deep Thought after the fictional computer of the same name from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Deep Blue thus became the first computer system to defeat a reigning world champion in a match under standard chess tournament time controls. The match concluded on February 17, 1996.ĭeep Blue was then heavily upgraded (unofficially nicknamed "Deeper Blue") and played Kasparov again in May 1997, winning the six-game rematch 3½–2½, ending on May 11, finally ending in game six. However, Kasparov won three games and drew two of the following games, beating Deep Blue by a score of 4–2. Deep Blue - Kasparov, 1996, Game 1 is a famous chess game.

The computer system dubbed "Deep Blue" was the first machine to win a chess game against a reigning world champion (Garry Kasparov) under regular time controls. Kasparov had won an earlier match against a previous version of Deep Blue in 1996 Kasparov accused IBM of cheating and demanded a rematch, but IBM declined and retired Deep Blue.ĭeep Blue succeeded in its goal of winning against a reigning world champion in 1997. On, the machine won a six-game match by two wins to one with three draws against world champion Garry Kasparov. Deep Blue was an IBM created Supercomputer designed to defeat world champion Garry Kasparov.
