One of the Deep Blue racks on display at the Computer History Museum.
An early version of Deep Blue played a match against GM Joel Benjamin, who joined the Deep Blue team as a GM consultant afterward.īy the time of the 1997 match, Deep Blue's alpha-beta search algorithm (the same type of search that is still used by many conventional computer engines today) along with its custom hardware allowed it to consider up to 200 million positions per second. Deep Blue was dismantled after the 1997 victory, with one of its two racks being displayed at the National Museum of American History and the other at the Computer History Museum.
In 1989 Hsu and other colleagues joined the IBM team to fully develop Deep Blue. The Deep Blue project (initially called ChipTest) was created by Feng-hsiung Hsu in 1985. Deep Blue's victory was viewed as a symbolic testament to the rise of artificial intelligence-a victory for machine versus man. It is famous for defeating the chess world champion, GM Garry Kasparov, in their 1997 match. Here is what you need to know about Deep Blue:ĭeep Blue was a chess computer developed by IBM. Let's learn more about this computer that changed history. Even in the 1980s, it seemed laughable that a computer could ever defeat the strongest human players. Then in 1997, it happened-a computer defeated the world champion. Humans were the strongest chess entities on the planet for centuries.
