If you want to lose a game against computer one poor move is enough. You only need to resign in one move or to do some tactical blunder. You also do not play quiet opening against computers if you want to lose. Of course kasparov never claimed that he tried to lose by playing poor moves without success but nothing will stop you to post lies. Unfortunately Kasparov cannot go to court against Vincent Diepeveen to get some money because Vincent is probably going to deny that he wrote the posts that you posted(The only thing that I can say for Vincent is that maybe he is not you).
