More than one of Kasparov's "camp" has said "we made a bad decision in game 6..." Which could be interpreted to mean that h6 was intentional. Remember, several programs have tried to win with white in that position and against a good human (as black) the programs lost. Whether that was a prepared trap that failed is speculation. But it is certainly more probable than the clap-trap stuff about possible cheating. :)
