Deep blue was a chess playing supercomputer developed by IBM which defeated chess grandmaster Garry Kimovich Kasparov in 1997. It was developed by Feng-hsiung and his team in the quest to build a computer to take on chess grandmasters. It evaluates 200000000 moves per second compared to the 3 moves per second of the human. It relies on brute-force analysis of thousands of matches between the world grandmasters to pick its move.
So what are the parameters it evaluates?
Value of each piece - Each piece has a value attached to it - A pawn has a value of 1, knight 3, bishops and rooks 5, queen 9 and the king, beyond value.
Area under control - The computer tries to maximise the number of squares of the board under its control.
Safety of the king - Any move must only reinforce the safety of the king, since if the king is taken the match is over.
Tempo - this refers to the rate of advancing of the player.
