Kasparov could win it later 1.5:.5 on p120.

I think that you underestimate Genius3 on p90 against humans.
It is not so easy to win against it at G/25

If kasparov knew before the game that he was playing genius3 then it is possible
that he would not try some anti Genius2 ideas that he tried against it.

I think that it is not fair to tell the opponent wrong information before the
game and it can change the results.
