IBM’s Deep Blue supercomputer defeated reigning World Chess Champion Garry Kasparov in a six-game match under standard tournament conditions. Deep Blue was a massive parallel system running custom VLSI hardware chips capable of evaluating 200 million chess positions per second using complex alpha-beta search heuristics, shattering the long-held psychological belief that strategic mastery was an exclusively human trait.
