If Kasparov wanted to win period, then he would have asked for his conditions, and play for the most part ugly anti-computer chess. Kramnik tried to be flashy in a won position, and then lost! When it comes to tactics no one can play computers that way unless they know they will succeed...meaning they know without doubt the combination is sound. Sure, you might get lucky, but that is poker not chess.
