The crucial truth is that because of that superiority the team around Hsu & Campbell decided to disturb Kasparov's concentration in 1997 so that he no longer could make his "mysterious" computations! The moment came when Kasparov asked them for the logs. They didn't reply and treated Kasparov like an uninvited guest on a party. In reality he was their wanted client in a science challenge abou the chess strength of machine and humans.
