I think that humans lose the right state of mind when playing against computers at that level. Your case 1 is clear, Kasparov would have NEVER resigned against any human opponent. He was completely psyched. Anyway, this kind of mistakes happen but they are very rare at this level. For instance, Petrosian hung a queen in the middle of the board. A queen that was just threatened. Karpov lost a piece against Christiansen in move 10. It happens, but we are talking mistakes that happen to 2700+ level players once every 10 years. Regards, Miguel
