Deep Blue is a program turning on a data-processing Serveur modified in order to specialize it in the Jeu of failures by addition of specific circuits, developed by IBM. It is the result of the Chiptest project, launched by the students Feng-hsiung Hsu, Murray Campbell and Thomas Anantharaman at the laboratory of the Carnegie Mellon University in 1985. Famous Deep Thought in 1988, the project became Deep Blue in 1993.

Deep Blue met the world champion of the moment, Garry Kasparov, the February 10th 1996. The man triumphed, but to lose one year later against the successor of Deep Blue: Deeper Blue . The generic name Deep Blue was preserved by the use to indicate the two programs; those turned on RS/6000 , computers containing chips PowerPC).

This victory was disputed thereafter because the traditional rules of this kind of test were not complied with: the team of programmers of Deep Blue had access to all the parts of Kasparov, but this one had not had access to the chronological list of the parts played by Deep Blue. Meanwhile, the team Deep Blue had been reallocated with other tasks as it is of use once a finished project, and the victory of Deep Blue is as discussed as in its time the flight of Clément Ader was it. Nevertheless, he played at the time of this part some blows of the class of a large Master, of which one (abundantly commented on in the specialized magazines) completely destabilized Kasparov.
