Abstract
Deep Blue is the chess machine that defeated then-reigning World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov in a six-game match in 1997. There were a number of factors that contributed to this success, including:
a single-chip chess search engine,
a massively parallel system with multiple levels of parallelism,
a strong emphasis on search extensions,
a complex evaluation function, and
effective use of a Grandmaster game database.
This paper describes the Deep Blue system, and gives some of the rationale that went into the design decisions behind Deep Blue.
