Let's start with the positions that were too difficult

i already did a few years ago. lost them.

Here what Seirawan sees as very bad moves in the report written
for icca june 97:

many choices for computer so many mistakes:
Game 1: 10..h6? 11..Qa5? 12..Bc7? 13..g5? 22..g4?

long bookline then kasparov makes so many bad moves that the
shuffle moves from deep blue can't be seen as bad anymore because
doing nothing was ok:
Game 2: 26. f4(?!) 28. Qf1?! 37.Be4? 44.Kf1?
some consider f4 ok and personally i consider qf1 ok. However
Qe4 is a bad move. Qb6 there wins by force the opposite bishop
endgame that happens after exchanging. Kf1 is tactical drawing
Kh1 there is winning for white. Diep finds Kh1 here quick. After
a few minutes also for the right reason. Deepblue was tactical weak
it didn't even see Qg3 (even seeing the draw is no big deal, you play
it for other tactical reasons then).

All with all game 2 is not such a bad game from Deep Blue. Kasparov played
however around 8 real bad move. strategical especially major mistakes.
moves a 2000 player already knows doesn't fit in that position.

However despite all that, kasparov can draw game still in the end.
The 37th and 44th move are real big bad moves in combination with the
many 'do nothing shuffle moves'.

another idiotic setup from kasparov where if he would have wanted to would
have won 2 eyes closed:
game 3: 5..Be7? 8..Qd7?! (12.Nh3?? from kasparov, only move to not win
the game chanceless) 16..Kh8? 28..Bd8?! 32..a5?

Kasparov played like an idiot game 3 obviously. Especially opening the position
with bxc5?! setup is pretty stupid against computer. Despite that kasparov
had to make even more bad moves to draw the game.

One move i really can't explain is 12.Nh3?? that's so insane sick bad.
Any other move wins there for white the game in a strategic
chanceless way. Idem for bxc5 i want to give that 2 question marks because
a 1900 rated can win that game if you don't capture on c5.

Especially the openings setup moves from deep blue we must see as
serious mistakes. It just knows so little about setting up an openings
position. In 2002 not a single program that joins world champs will fall
for that (perhaps except the lowest seeded participant which i already
can't imagine).

Game 4: again kasparov shuffles a little without plan and without high
level. Like i do when i play a 2000 player. Again Deep Blue doesn't know
what to do:
12.Bxg6? 15.Rdg1? 20.Nd1? now 2 gross mistakes at the king
safety of deep blue which lose the game normally spoken:
22.a3? 24.b4? Lucky kasparov now plays the endgame like an idiot
so called 'time trouble' or simply because the guy thought any endgame
woudl win. 39.Rg1? is another mistake from deep blue but further it
played ok in the endgame.

Game 5: 6..e6? (another simplistic mistake regarding the non existing
pawn structure code, this is a gross mistake) 10..Bb4+? (patzer sees
check, patzer gives check. He version 1.0 of DIEP played that too!)
(18.Bg5? from kasparov only way to blow the position a 1800 patzer
move). Kasparov blows the game then but deep blue plays the amazing
blunder 29..Qg6? which completely gives away black advantage. Now
Kasparov if he would have played 2300 level could have easily won
the game after qg6, but he didn't. 'Missing' obvious patzer Nh4
manoeuvre. The result was that extreme simple moves from deep
blue were enough to draw the game.
Game 5 could have been a game versus an old 2100 player and a very
young and aggressive young 'talent' rated 2000 and old 12 years.

Game 6 we know. long book line then 8 moves from deep blue and 1-0.
