I mean: Kasparov played very well, but he played using a style which
i cannot recommend against computers. Leaving your opponent
an open file, AND giving it the opportunity to make tactics, is quite
hazardeous.

Kasparov won this game TACTICALLY, remember?

Deep Blue won an exchange, but to no avail. If Kasparov didn't
calculate this all, then he's hopelessly lucky.

If i play a computer in this way i lose guaranteed.

So Kasparov outsearched the computer in this game using a combination
of insight and sharp tactical calculation.

Vincent
