Ljubomir Nelson *sigh* You are not treating the computer with enough respect. If one plays accurately in the short term, slower computers will make some strategic mistakes to capitalise on. I think you are caught up in a misconception with the way Kasparov plays Deep Blue. Computers tend not to see the consequences of far-reaching sacrifices. But are you clever enough to make them? At your level you seem to be playing to the computer's tactical strength and your own chess weakness.
