Deep Blue was a legendary [chess](chess.md) playing [IBM](ibm.md) [supercomputer](supercomputer.md), which in 1997 made [history](history.md) by being the first ever [computer](computer.md) to beat the human world chess champion at the time (Garry Kasparov), marking a moment which many consider that at which "computers finally outsmarted humans". Since then computers really did continue to surpass humans at chess by much greater margins; nowadays a mere cellphone running [stockfish](stockfish.md) can easily rape the world chess champion.
History: it all started around 1985 as a program called ChipTest by some Taiwanese guy with unpronounceable name. It went on to win some computer chess tournaments and when multiple people were already working on it as a part of IBM research, it was renamed to Deep Thought after the computer in [Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy](hgttg.md), however **it had to be later renamed to Deep Blue because the name too much resembled [deep throat](deep_throat.md)** :D By 1990 it has already played the world champion, Kasparov, but lost. In 1996 Deep Blue played him again, this time losing the match again but already having won a game, showing the potential was there. In May 1997, after upgrade both in hardware and software, it finally beat Kasparov with 3 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw.

{ Lol, according to Wikipedoa it trolled Kasparov in the first game by making a completely random move due to a bug once, it scared him because he thought it was some deeply calculated threat while it was just some completely dumb move. ~drummyfish }
