Deep Blue

Deep Blue was a supercomputer developed by IBM, designed specifically to play chess at a very high level. It used advanced algorithms and powerful processing to analyze many possible moves and outcomes quickly. In 1997, Deep Blue made history by beating the reigning world champion, Garry Kasparov, demonstrating that computers could compete with top human players in complex strategic games. It combined brute-force calculation with strategic evaluation, marking a significant milestone in artificial intelligence and computing.
