You're welcome.

I never heard of any Lisp being used. From articles I read C.

I have seen some pre Deep Blue code ( Chiptest,Deep Thought I/II ? ) for
automatic tuning of evaluation factors, wich was C as well.


Did you read the book about Deep Blue, written by Hsu ? I think it doesn't
mention anything but C.

I can send you the paper they published in "Artificial Intelligence" in wich
they mention only C as programming language. ( It might give you some extra
information as well )

So, all together, I'm pretty sure about only C being used.
