Abstract
It was the equivalent of a boxer in his first fight knocking down the world champion. Deep Blue, the latest chess-playing computer designed by IBM's Research Division, achieved a stunning first-game victory over world chess champion, Gary Kasparov, at its public debut in late February. The machine's success did not last – Kasparov won the second, fifth and final games of the six-game match, while the other two games were drawn. But the fact that Deep Blue had pressed the champion so hard surprised many chess experts. “We've certainly demonstrated that the technology is a very effective way of solving computation-intensive problems,” says Chung-Jen Tan, who heads the Deep Blue team.
