He knew as much as anyone after the error, 7...h6?! I can't see how you can say this about the best player in modern history, if not all-time? The first one of them was Qe7 when I believe that a simple capture of the knight by fxe6 can win the game. Can you prove this? Of course not, as after Nxe6!!? it's too complex and _all_ GM's in their right mind's would avoid the sacrifice. Joel Benjimen was correct including 8.Nxe6 in DB 2's book! Uri, after after 7...h6 Kasparov was in a terrible situation. Out of 10 GM games with 7...h6, prior to Kasparov, (instead of Bd6 followed by 8.h6) 9 were lost! Against Deep Blue II, I would have to say Kasparov had little chance due to his state of mind and the awesome calculating abilities of the machine. Virtually Kasparov lost at move 7. He may have had better trys then Qe7?! but that's moot, as the tactics favoured this tactical monster. Genius 3 on a P-100 will not give a great deal of insight on DB 2 after 8. Nxe6!!?
