I agree: that is even the key point of the game. Here Bxa2 is bad cause black is
not yet prepared for the counterplay and hence the havy pieces of kasparov would
gain more from a more dynamic play.

Later Bxa2 is not as bad cause white has used some tempos and black managed to
get out with the rook.
Rd2 instead of Rxe4 could have proven that Bxa2 was still not enough, anyway a
good try.
