'''Deep Blue''' was{{efn|Parts of the computer were split up to museums}} a [[supercomputer]] for [[Computer chess|chess-playing]] based on a customized [[IBM RS/6000 SP]]. It was the first computer to win a game, and the first to win a match, against a reigning world champion under regular time controls. Development began in 1985 at [[Carnegie Mellon University]] under the name [[ChipTest]]. It then moved to IBM, where it was first renamed [[Deep Thought (chess computer)|Deep Thought]], then again in 1989 to Deep Blue. It first played world champion [[Garry Kasparov]] in a [[Deep Blue versus Garry Kasparov|six-game match]] in 1996, where it won one, drew two and lost three games. It was upgraded in 1997, and in a six-game re-match it defeated Kasparov by winning two games and drawing three. Deep Blue's victory is considered a milestone in the [[history of artificial intelligence]] and has been the subject of several books and films.
