# Deep Blue

TODO

Fun fact: Deep Blue was firstly named Deep Thought, after the computer in [Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy](hgttg.md), however it had to be renamed because the name too much resembled [deep throat](deep_throat.md).

It wasn't really a general chess engine like [stockfish](stockfish.md), it was really programmed specifically for winning the match against Kasparov, it focused on his play and employed even psychological tricks -- for example it had preprogrammed instant responses to some Kasparov's expected moves, so as to make him more nervous.
