Kasparov spoke in the day after the game that when resigned he was tired, and he
assumed that Deep Blue allowed that Qe3 were played because that move was losing
(thanks by the links JAFM!).
How to analyze that fact? Could to play against a machine justify the mistake?
If that is true I believe that this should be one of the most important games
played in the century, because it would show the negative psychological factors
that the human beings would feel when playing against machines.

Only a thought that pursues me there are some years.
