Ibm Chess Computer: Deep Blue Chess Computer
Deep Blue 1996
IBM's Computer Chess System
Deep
Blue was originally created in 1985 in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and was
known as the world's most famous chess computer. Deep Blue began as a
program named Chiptest in the 1980s, and in the 1990s, it became Deep
Thought. It was created by students Feng-hsiung Hsu and Thomas
Anantharaman at Carnegie Mellon University, PA. The two later joined IBM
in 1989, where they assisted in the further advancements of the system.
Deep Thought was renamed Deep Blue in 1996.Former world Chess champion
Garry Kasparov was noted for having defeated Deep Blue on his first
interaction with the system. Deep Blue lost a six-game match to world
Chess champion Garry Kasparov in 1996. But in the 1997 rematch, Deep
Blue made history by defeating Kasparov 3.5 games to 2.5 creating quite
the uproar since Kasparov quit the last match when he was equal in
pieces on the board and it was still any opponent’s game. Kasparov vs. Deep Blue
This was a very serious
and arduous game because it was the exceptional mind of Kasparov that
had almost unlimited potential for a human being, versus a computer that
could calculate 20-30 million moves and thousands of counter-moves; it
was a great mind against great minds. The interesting thing about the
game, where you have a human versus a computer is that a human thinks
with the heart, mind, courage, fear, senses and emotion, but a computer
playing at a Grand Master level of 2500 calculates its moves based on
positioning, and exploiting a weakness. The computer system runs off of
algorithms, a point scale, and brilliant tactical maneuvers. Kasparov vs. Deep Blue (Game 6 via the screen) 
After
Deep Blue was taken out of the Chess world, IBM found other means of
use for it. For example, Deep Blue is a massively parallel, RS/6000
SP-based computer system that was designed to play chess at a high
level. But the underlying RS/6000 technology is being used to tackle
real world problems like: cleaning up toxic waste sites, weather
forecasting, financial data tracking, designing cars, and developing
drug therapies. It is even used to run the IBM server that delivers the
