Home > Deep Thought (chess computer)


 

Deep Thought is a computer, first in a line of chess computers that included Deep Blue, the computer that defeated Garry Kasparov in a six-game chess match. Deep Thought easily lost both games of a 2-game match to Kasparov in 1989.

It was named after Deep Thought, a fictional computer in Douglas Adams' series, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.

The naming of chess computers has continued in this vein with Deep Fritz, Deep Junior, etc. ("Deep" also comes from the way the various algorithms look for all possible moves and potential outcomes.)
