Nxe6 in game 6 was already a book move!!! DB did good homework because after
till kasparov's b5 everything was still in book:

 8 Nxe6!
 8 ....  Qe7
 9 0-0   fxe6
10 Bg6+  Kd8
11 Bf4   b5  (out of book Nd5 was book)

Kasparov's 16 ... Bc6 was indeed not expected. (Nc7 was expected) and raised th
e advantage from: +41 to +137.

But also 18 ... Bxe7 was not the strongest. (Nxe7 was expected) and raised the
advantage from +159 to +267. After DB's move 19 c4 kasparov gave up.
