I could never read from American sources that the tricks you referred to and
which are almost "normal" in human chess in special concerning the openings are
sort of gambling if that is added to a machine against a human player in a show
of only 6 games, three pro color. Not because this is unsportive but because it
doesn't prove what it should, namely the chess superiority of the machine.
Kasparov thus didn't lose to DB II but to the tricks of the human team behind DB
II and their psycho tricks you didn't mention.

The goal of the "experiment" was the decision who's stronger MAN or MACHINE. The
question is still wide open.
