Descriptions of an elite mind
$begingroup$
My starting part discerns the green from white and blue and red;
I use it to describe myself, agree with what's been said.
My second part's an aurous lass, a symbol of a state,
dilemma of a Nordic prince, result that's almost great.
My third part is an old film of a manhunt really tense,
and it describes one kilo or a shirt that's not immense.
My fourth describes an ocean, or a colour, thoughts profound;
a voice that sounds impressive, something buried underground.
My fifth describes an ocean, or some music, thoughts of woe;
you look up on a cloudless day, and off to jail you go.
My whole describes a mind that really turned out quite elite;
to beat us at our own game was a truly monstrous feat.
Who am I?

You are
IBM Deep Blue
My starting part discerns the green from white and blue and red;
I use it to describe myself, agree with what's been said.
I: The “eye” discerns colors. “I” = myself. “Aye” = agree
My second part's an aurous lass, a symbol of a state,
dilemma of a Nordic prince, result that's almost great.
B: Bea Arthur was a Golden Girl. The beehive is the state symbol of Utah. Hamlet pondered, “To be or not to be”. “B”, as in a grade, is good not great.
My third part is an old film of a manhunt really tense,
and it describes one kilo or a shirt that's not immense.
M: M is a movie involving a manhunt, the Roman numeral for one thousand, and abbreviation for medium.
My fourth describes an ocean, or a colour, thoughts profound;
a voice that sounds impressive, something buried underground.
DEEP: can describe the ocean, colors, profound thoughts, voices, or underground things.
My fifth describes an ocean, or some music, thoughts of woe;
you look up on a cloudless day, and off to jail you go.
BLUE: describes the ocean, music (“the blues”), sadness, the sky, and the police.
My whole describes a mind that really turned out quite elite;
to beat us at our own game was a truly monstrous feat.
IBM DEEP BLUE was the first computer chess-playing system to win both a chess game and a chess match against a reigning world champion under regular time controls, beating Garry Kasparov and acheiving a milestone for AI.
