Because Kasparov didn't want deep blue to look bad. There is many games in
kasparov-deep blue where kasparov is dead won and then plays the most silly move
in the position after which kasparov is no longer dead won.

Take the Ng5-h3?? move where Be3 wins eyes closed and which is a bullet move for
anyone with a FIDE rating.
