After IBM dropped the Deep Blue project, the level of computer chess software has become better, while the level of the hardware on which the software sits has declined. I don't think Kasparov has been tested at that level since, but his behavior shows the effects of playing a brute-force opponent.
The chess playing software is now good enough that even Kasparov cannot make blunders against the computer and expect to win. Therefore, today he played to avoid mistakes, not to win.
Kasparov beating a chess computer is not newsworthy. A computer beating Kasparov still makes the headlines. Would ESPN have broadcast match 6 live if Kasparov was ahead by 2 points, instead of being tied.
