I think Deep Blue had a lot of knowledge compared to the micros of 1997.

It evaluated:
*) concepts such as square control
*) pins
*) x-rays
*) king safety
*) pawn structure
*) passed pawn
*) ray control
*) outposts
*) pawn majority
*) rook on 7th
*) blockade
*) restraint
*) color complex
*) trapped pieces
*) development
*) and so on...

Example of kingsafety:
"Before the king castles, the system computes three king safety evaluations, one
for king-side castling, one for queen-side castling and the base value for
staying in the center. Each of these king safety evaluations takes into account
the types of pieces attacking, the soundness of the king's shelter, presence of
attacking pawns, color complex around the king, and os on. The final king safety
evaluation is a weighted linear combination of the three king safety
evaluations."
