IBM Deep Blue to Google AlphaZero, a brief history of Chess AI
Deep Blue was a supercomputer developed by IBM specifically for playing chess. It was the first computer to defeat a reigning world champion, Grandmaster Garry Kasparov, in a six-game match in 1997. This was a historic achievement for artificial intelligence (AI) and chess programming, as it demonstrated the ability of a machine to outsmart a human in a complex and strategic game.
