Deep Blue was the IBM supercomputer famous for playing chess against world champion Garry Kasparov in 1997. However, the question's phrasing 'only use' is misleading - while Deep Blue is best known for chess, supercomputers are general-purpose machines. The question seems to be testing knowledge of Deep Blue's most famous application rather than its actual technical capabilities.
