Deep Thought was an early chess computer developed in the 1980s that became known for its ability to play chess at a high level. It was created by Feng-hsiung Hsu and Murray Campbell while they were graduate students at Carnegie Mellon University. The computer was named after "Deep Thought," a supercomputer from Douglas Adams' science fiction series "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy." Deep Thought was notable for being one of the first dedicated chess-playing machines.
