While [|International Master] David Levy hadn't competed seriously in chess for more than ten years, Deep Thought had some recent experience in playing Kasparov and the ACM 1989. DT was represented and operated by Peter Jansen, who later told David 30 new evaluation terms had been added to the program prior to their match. || toc =The End of an Era= The match turned out to be the last one concerning the Levy Bet. After his victories versus Chess 4.7 in 1978 and Cray Blitz in 1984, and despite some preparation with Danny Kopec, the still too "rusty" man made too many blunders and got crashed 0-4. Deep Thought won the [|Omni] prize of $5,000, including $1,000 by Levy.
