It doesn't say that at all.

The search software was rewritten entirely for Deep Thought 2, and was designed
to deal better with the parallel search, as well as implement anumber of new
search extension ideas. This code would later form the initial basis for the

They used identical algorithms from Deep Blue 1 to Deep Blue 2, not for
DT2->DB1.
