Just before the excerpt that you quote, there is the following: SE: And who was behind the name of Kasparov? GK: It was me,Yuri Dohoian , Boris Alterman and also "Deep Junior" which was mostly active in the queen ending... It's a great Israeli machine. So it isn't like GK is blaming the world for using a computer (if they did). He seems to be taking the use of computers in correspondence games for granted. I find this, and his use of other human analysts, somewhat disappointing, but that is the way chess is today. Of course, if he was wrong about what computer the World was using (I believe Bruce Moreland's denial), then he may have been wrong about them using a computer at all. Also, he mentions the key mistakes in the ending, Black's 51st and 58th moves, but doesn't reconcile this with his theory of a computer being used in the ending.
