IBM’s Chess-Playing Computer, Deep Blue, Celebrates 15th Birthday
"It was 15 years ago today that a computer – a conglomeration of transistors, memory, and storage media – could beat a world-class chess player. Called Deep Blue, the machine was part of a mission that culminated in IBM’s creation of a supercomputer that beat chess master Garry Kasparov two wins to one"

Re: Happy Birthday Deep Blue
Time flies! 
I remember that was my 1st or 2nd year at the university. I would wait impatiently for the daily newspapers to arrive at the library so I could make a copy of the games and go analyze them back home using Sargon III on my Amiga 1200 computer. There was also some webpages talking about it... but back in 1996/97 it was kinda primitive ^^

Re: Happy Birthday Deep Blue
Thanks Ted, I am a Deep Blue fan.
Kaspaov thought no program would play 36.axb5 and then 37.Be4.
Todays programs will also play these two Deep Blue moves.
