The [[ACM|Association for Computing Machinery]] (ACM) hosted the first major chess tournament for computers, the '''1st ACM United States Computer Chess Championship''', in September 1970 in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City New York]. The event was organized by [[Monroe Newborn]], Professor of Computer Science at [[McGill University]] <ref>[http://webdocs.cs.ualberta.ca/~tony/Public/Awit-Wita-ComputerChess/Awit-Wita-ReadMe/wita-history-readme.txt Wita-Awit - readme.txt] by [[Tony Marsland]]</ref>. The ACM chess events, in 1975 renamed the '''ACM North American Computer Chess Championship''', and in 1991 the '''ACM International Computer Chess Championship''', were canceled in 1995 as [[Deep Blue]] was preparing for the first match against world chess champion [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garry_Kasparov Garry Kasparov].
