Kramnik tried to reach the endgame as soon as possible. A good strategy, but not the best one. Kasparov played the regular Kasparov game, not a good anti-computer strategy. The best anti-computer strategy was illustrated by Illia Smirin in his last year's matches against four top engines at KasparovChess.com. He basically tried to lock the pawn formation and reach a closed position. The result was a decisive victory for Smirin against machines. IMO trying to close the position is a far better strategy than exchanging to reach the endgame.
