The game was drawn before h4 was played.  We can't say whether DB would have
done better in avoiding the drawing setup, however.

In 1996, he didn't know the specific weaknesses of DB1.  By the 6th game, it
sure seemed like he had a good handle on them - he made DB look silly in that
game.  Does it look like he was able to find any real weaknesses in DB2?  Maybe
a little bit, but it wasn't enough for him to win.
