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 decision behind Deep Blue. Copyright 2001 Elsevier B.V.
