History

Historical Context

In 1997 IBM’s upgraded Deep Blue supercomputer defeated world champion Garry Kasparov 3½–2½, becoming the first machine to win a match under standard chess time controls. Developed from Carnegie Mellon’s 1985 ChipTest project and renamed Deep Blue in 1989, the system evaluated 200 million positions per second and earned a $700,000 prize, marking a watershed for artificial-intelligence research.
