You do realize, Kasparov had a draw in hand don't you?

In fact, only Black had actual winning chances!

It was -/+

It was wise that the DJ team took the draw, and disappointing for the rest of
us!

I was certain, Kasparov was playing for a win with Rxc3!, but he didn't like
Ba3!, which complicated the win. He saw this move before he sacked his Rook!
Thus offering a draw, which the DJ team turned down, then offered the draw back
as Black was positionally better.
