Kasparov said something else. He said that "they did not prove >that" ... the machine played the crucial moves. This is out of my head, not his >exact words. You see the difference. I believe he said that moves are still not understandable. Yet we went over the logs, and explained _everything_ that he doesn't seem to be able to understand. Why it didn't play Qb6. Why it took so long. Why it seemed to change its mind right at the last second. All was quite obvious and natural, and as I pointed out at the time, it looked _just like_ the output I see from Crafty _all_ _the_ _time_.
