It's worth knowing something about human nature. Even the biggest person can
fall very far as a result of just a little pride. You can't say that just
because it is the great Kasparov making the moves, therefore it's divine.
We all know how Kasparov scorns computers, and that causes him to relax alot of
his better senses, and it's no surprise if at times he might even drop to below
master-level awareness. Genius though he may be, IMHO he is still a person who
has problems with self awareness. He may be a better actor than
he used to be.
