According human vs human games yes you could say that Kasparov has obtained a
substantial edge, but the problem is that when a human chose an open Opening
right after the middlegame stage, it always turned into an advantage for the
computer. That is the reason why he was not able to convert the last game with
WHITE into a victory. Now against another human his open opening choice is
unstopable, since his is the greatest human tactician, but it doesn't work
against a program that doesn't feel fear and always select the best deffense.
