Hi,
On your page
Did
you know...? entry #57, you have posted
the following: "A Computer Program named
Deep Thought beat an International Grand
Master for the first time in November 1988
in Long Beach, California".
Do you know by any chance who that GM was?
Thank you.

Dear
viewer,
The first Grandmaster to be defeated
by a computer was Bent Larsen, a Danish Chess player born on
March 4, 1935.
On 1988, he lost a game to Deep Thought
Computer in the Software Toolworks Tournament held in Long
Beach, CA. He had the highest ELO rating of 2560.
He is considered the strongest Chess
player ever born in Denmark and is credited with beating Bobby
Fischer twice with black pieces.
Below, Deep Thought (black) first
victory against a GM can be reviewed with a PGN viewer:
