You are correct Deep Thought _NOT_ Deep Blue won against IM David Levy back in
1988, but GM Dr. Huebner lost to MEPHISTO in 1990 and ever since refused to play
in public against a computer.

In 1990 World Champion Anatoly Karpov lost to MEPHISTO in a simultaneous
exhibition in Munich. MEPHISTO also beat grandmasters Robert Huebner and David
Bronstein.


In 1994 Kasparov lost to Fritz 3 in Munich in a blitz tournament. The program
also defeated Anand, Short, Gelfand, and Kramnik. Grandmaster Robert Huebner
refused to play it and lost on forfeit, the first time a GM has forfeited to a
computer.
