A few interesting highlights:

"I was totally unprepared to play against a modern playing program. My
experience from the mid-1990s turns out to have been completely irrelevant
today. I realized that in order to be successful a Grandmaster has to prepare in
an entirely different manner to play with computers compared with “human” chess.
I would compare playing against a computer to a struggle with a river with
strong rapids in the fairway and calm waters outside. The art is to reach the
calm waters – a key to success in playing against computers."

"You have to not only find weaknesses in computers, but also to rid your style
of methods you normally use against humans. You have to abstain from using a
psychological approach, since computers don’t have psychology. You must refrain
from looking for mistakes in the calculations of your opponent, as computers
don’t miscalculate."

"During the match I came to some new insights about the way computers play. The
first round I lost 1-3, the second finished 2-2, and I think that I would win a
third round."
