Let us suppose that Deeper Blue went a SGm. SGms plays around 50 games
a year.
That number of games would do that chess players learned about the
weaknesses of "SGm" Deeper Blue.
In my opinion Deeper Blue, after some time, it would be more vulnerable
and, consequently, no longer it would be so strong as in the beginning.
