While a doctoral student at Carnegie Mellon University, Feng-hsiung Hsu began development of a chess-playing supercomputer under the name ChipTest. Deep Blue's victory is considered a milestone in the history of artificial intelligence and has been the subject of several books and films. It was upgraded in 1997 and in a six-game re-match, it defeated Kasparov by winning two games and drawing three. It first played world champion Garry Kasparov in a six-game match in 1996, where it lost four games to two. It then moved to IBM, where it was first renamed Deep Thought, then again in 1989 to Deep Blue. Development began in 1985 at Carnegie Mellon University under the name ChipTest. 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. Deep Blue was a chess-playing expert system run on a unique purpose-built IBM supercomputer.
