The _official_ history of the match has DB winning rounds 2 and 6, losing round
1, and drawing the rest.  What part of that is confusing?  If you want to play
word games and say that the 1-0 result in round two means black lost rather than
that white won, fine.  In round 1 DB lost, Kasparov didn't win.
