In the 96 match, DB lost by the score of 2-4. In 97 DB lost the first game horribly. It won the second game when Kasparov resigned in drawn position (perpetual check). DB had a worse position in the rest of games except the last games in which Kasparov lost in the opening. Deep Blue never "crushed" Kasparov. IBM was ucky that they even won the 97 match by just one point. Now Adam's 0.5-5.5 was "crush."
