I do not agree.  Kasparov has obtained a substantial edge in the opening in
every game if I recall correctly.  True, he has not converted all of those
strong positions into victories, but he has obtained good positions with his
opening choices made in the first three games.

I think he should continue as he has done, and just try to maintain focus as the
machine hums along.  To me, that is the hardest part for the human -- to remain
forever alert to the myriad of tactics that the machine can cook up in a flash.
