So where do you get the Deeper from? Because Deep Blue played in 1996, so there must be some distinction between it and the machine in 1997, even though they technically have the same name. If someone played some games with Fritz 3 against <insert program here> and said "Fritz sucks", but they didn't tell you it was Fritz 3, you could very well assume that it was the newest Fritz that played. Deep Blue 1997 is at least as different from DB 1996 as Fritz 3 is from Fritz 8, which is why people use the name "Deeper Blue" to distinguish it from the simply "Deep" Blue that played in 1996.
