Kasparov-Deep Blue Philadelphia (6) 1996 The Opening has been a sucess for Kasparov. He has good central control, and prospects of a gradual queenside advance. More importantly, there is no direct plan for Black, so Deep Blue drifts for a few moves with disastrous consequences. The bishop is already a little clumpsy on d7; I suspect a strong human player would have sunk into thought, and devised a plan for deliverating his game. [D]r2q1rk1/pp1bbppp/2n1pn2/3p4/2PP4/1P1B1N2/PB1N1PPP/2RQ1RK1 b - - 0 1 11...Nh5? This over-ambitious idea met with strong disapproval from most strong human commentators. However, Yasser Seirawan said "oddly enough, one well-known chess computer scientist suggested that the move may well be OK, but it might need a highly advandce program and computer in a few years' time to justify this move". I suspect that this is a case in point of someone believing that a strong chess-playing program is doing something profound, when in fact is just crunching numbers, Few GMs back in 1996 felt that 11....Nh5 was anything other than a bad move.
