Some historiographic boundaries of this historic event are already forming, and I imagine these will continue to shape interpretations into the foreseeable future.
Deep Blue is also an historiographic event. Deep Blue is an historic event, then succeeding generations will more than likely revisit it. Each new generation of historians always returns to notable events seeking new insights, new meanings, and fresh interpretations. Deep Blue is a significant moment in time that encapsulates a much larger historical reality, the implications of which historians may well wrestle with again and again. For historians of computing, Deep Blue's defeat of Kasparov-arguably the greatest chess player ever-has the potential to be like Gettysburg or the storming of the Bastille. Deep BlueĪccording to many observers, the chess match between Garry Kasparov and the IBM computer Deep Blue in May 1997 was an "historic event." If true, then this match would seem to be the sort of event that would be of special concern to historians interested in the marriage of computers and history.
