From Seirawan:

Now, what Deep Blue says to itself is, "Hey, this move seems to,
  c3, the moves d3-d4 are coming, pushing me pieces away.  I've
  God to do something about my knight on e5.  Let me figure out
  what I can do."
And it says to itself, "Huh.  How about that.  White has a weak
  square f4.  Of course, white does not have a weak square f4.
  And Deep Blue says that's the square I'm going off.  This is
  what I'm going to do, folks.  I'm going to play h7-h5.  And I'm
  going to play h5-h4."  So let's give Garry Kasparov a move.
Let's give Garry Kasparov the move castles.  New variation.  Now
  we play the move h5-h4.  After Garry plays g3-g4, bypassing the
  h-pawn, then Deep Blue says, "Aren't I brilliant?  I now
  control the f4 square.  I'll play Ne5-g6 and when Garry does
  something silly like c2-c3, well, then my bishop will drop back
  to d6 and I'll have played perfectly, I've got control of the
  f4 square."
So this is the way Deep Blue is trying to solve its problems.
