   A note about the accuracy of these moves.   

MANY databases have the wrong move score for this game. (One starts off with 1.d4.) 
And although many of them transpose back to the actual game, I found TWO whose game 
score was simply incorrect!!! The above score was arrived at by  "inputting"  the moves - one at a time, by hand - directly into the computer program,  Chessbase 8.0.  And then I meticulously went through and checked every single move twice against the book by Keene and Jacobs. 

I am reasonably certain that these moves are 100% accurate. {A.J.G.}

   Post-Game Press Conference & Interview with Kasparov  

Kasparov on Game # 2.

Kasparov's post-game comments were interesting, albeit somewhat braggadocios. 
(Or so it seems from re-reading the  '
USA-Today'  comments.)

"I simply outplayed it," he said at one point. 

"The program did not understand the nature of that whole game." - Kasparov. 

"I played a conservative opening where the long-term strategy is more important than immediate tactics. I tested the computer subtly, giving it chances to act like a machine and trade short-term advantages for long-term weaknesses ... Against a very strong human the result might have been a draw. But I simply understood the essence of the endgame in a way that the computer never could. It's computational power was not enough to overcome my experience and intuitive appreciation of where the pieces should go." 

 - GM Garry Kasparov - - - shortly after the game.
