I can add that the fact that kasparov got another match after drawing with Fritz
when Smirin never got another match after beating the machines increase my
impression(hardware was slower against smirin but time control was also faster
and the second factor is something that is supposed to help the machines so I
think that smirin's result is better than kasparov's result and kramnik's
result).

Players may believe that it is better if they do not win because if they draw
they have better chances to get another match.
