Kasparov has had the computer on the ropes throughout the match, it was one unfortunate blunder to cause him to lose game 3 and if he wants to win, he must be himself, if he goes for safe chess now he won't stand a "snowballs chance in hell" to win. When ahead don't to try and be brilliant, another error on Kasparov's part. But never has the computer in this match dominated Kasparov, on the contrary it's been Kasparov who has dominated the machine as he obtained winning positions or at least near winning in every game. He should have taken an earlier draw and been up 2:1 ! He screwed up, it's just that simple. Now he must play very hard with two Blacks ahead of him to have any chance now to win the match. He must win one more game and draw the rest! His other choice now like Kramnik is to play safe and draw the match. But that's the best he'll get now with playing safe.
