Yes!  This is exactly what I've been saying.  Kasparov needs to study Zen or
meditation or something like that because otherwise his personality and ego will
hurt him in the match.  No matter how strong he is tactically compared to other
humans, it would be better for him to avoid complex tactics against any modern
program running on fast hardware.  If he could force himself to do that, I think
he could win just as handily as Kramnik.

exploiting.
