Deep Blue, IBM's chess computer, was the first to beat a reigning world champion, Garry Kasparov, under standard tournament time controls. It won a game in 1996 but lost that match, then won the 1997 rematch.
In Philadelphia on 10 February 1996, Deep Blue won game 1, but Kasparov answered with three wins and two draws to take the match 4 to 2. An upgraded machine, nicknamed Deeper Blue, met him in New York in May 1997. Kasparov won game 1, Deep Blue game 2, games 3 to 5 were drawn, and on 11 May Kasparov resigned game 6 after 19 moves, losing 3½ to 2½. The 1997 machine paired a 30-node RS/6000 SP computer with 480 custom chess chips, searching about 200 million positions per second.
Deep Blue grew out of Feng-hsiung Hsu's ChipTest and Deep Thought projects at Carnegie Mellon, and Hsu and Murray Campbell led the IBM team. It relied on brute-force search and a hand-crafted evaluation function, not learning, the usual contrast with AlphaGo.
