When was the beginning of Chess and AI?

​IBM Deep Blue was a groundbreaking supercomputer that revolutionized both chess and artificial intelligence.

In 1997, it became the first computer to defeat a reigning world champion, GM Garry Kasparov, in a six-game match. It was said that this victory demonstrated the power of brute-force computing, as Deep Blue could analys e millions of positions per second. Its success marked a turning point in chess, influencing the rise of AI-driven chess engines.  Beyond chess, Deep Blue showcased the potential of machine learning and computational power, paving the way for other AI advancements in various fields. 

As a result of these advancements in computing power, professional chess players and amateurs alike have used computers to help prepare for chess tournaments and matches.
