IBM Deep Blue

IBM Deep Blue is a historically significant, chess-specific supercomputer architecture developed with the explicit goal of demonstrating the superiority of raw computational power over human capability in logical games. The system operated on a 'brute force' algorithm capable of evaluating 200 million move variations per second, as opposed to human intuition and strategic planning. Its greatest achievement was defeating the legendary world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997, thereby proving that machine intelligence can surpass human performance in complex but closed rule-system tasks. Although Deep Blue did not possess learning capabilities in the modern sense, its victory is considered a milestone in the history of computer science.
