The reasons are rather simple it has to do with :1.The 1997 chess Match of Kasparov vs DeepBlue 2.The fact that most GM vs GM games are decided by Tactical errors(The ones that dont end in Draws)3.Most (but not all) GM vs Machine Matches after 1997 were lost by Man.Exceptions:Pocket Fritz vs Adam and Leko ;Hubner vs Deep Fritz.
