| IBM Research | Deep Blue | Overview (833 words) |
| Deep Blue was born in the labs of Carnegie Mellon University in 1985 as "Chiptest," the creation of doctoral students Feng-hsiung Hsu, Murray Campbell and Thomas Anantharaman. |
| Chiptest receives an overhaul and is renamed Chiptest-M (the "M" stood for "microcode"). |
| More importantly, the bugs that had impeded Chiptest's performance the previous year were eliminated in the development of Chiptest-M. Hsu, Campbell and fellow CMU grad student Andreas Nowatzyk complete the development of Chiptest-M's first offspring, Deep Thought 0.01. |
