 GM - Nick de firmian author of MCO-14 and who worked with the IBM Team as the
specialist who prepared Deep Blue's special opening moves for its two victories
explained on his introductory of his latest Modern chess Opening that Kasparov
played much worse than usual, trying faulty Anti-computer strategy when he would
likely have won by normal play. Later on on page 87 of his MCO 14th Edition he
explained that on the second game where Kasparov's lost to deep Blue Deep Blue
emerged with a large opening advantage (before it even began to think" ) which
put kasparov in a hole. In that game Kasparov using the closed defense of the
smylov variation faced a prepared opening by De Firmian where deep Blue vs
Kasparov played 19.a4  Nh4?1 20. Nxh4 Qxh4  21.Qe2 Qd8  22.b4 Qc7  23.Rec1 c4
24.Ra3 Rec8  25.Rca1 +- and white won in 45 moves. As I explained in 3. Kasparov
was a single opponent known to the team of Deep Blue specially  where Nick de
Firmian prepared a special opening lines in case Kasparov dicided to play the
closed defense of the Ruy Lopez which he did. It is very different when you have
to face 9 different opponents as deep Junior did at the Dortmund without
preparing any special opening lines against any of the opponents, but the humans
opponents some like Kramnik decided to play a very effective Anti-Computer
strategy such as the stone Wall Defense.
