The computer was simply too strong. According to wikipedia, "The Deep Blue chess computer that defeated Kasparov in 1997 would typically search to a depth of between six and eight moves to a maximum of twenty or even more moves in some situations."

Not true. Kasparov would have won the first game, but Joel Benjamin had trained the thing and put a line in the computer that Kasparov did not expect it to play. He hired an expert to tell him whether he should play the line, the expert said no it can't recognize a sacrifice. In some ways, Joel singlehandedly won them the match, because Kasparov was so demoralized from then on that he missed things that otherwise he would have seen.

I also tend to agree with Kasparov's claims that the computer operators have given computer live help. Isn't it the case that he asked to see the algorithm to prove it was computer thinking and not someone entering moves and the manufacturers refused to give it to him claiming that it's a secret how the computer works and they cannot reveal it?

Not live help drawgood. There was a before-hand programming. They trained it very well. My teacher was there: there was no live help, it was chance/fate/whatever. But they programmed a ton of lines in to fill holes in the computer's understanding. Remember at this time a computer couldn't process a sacrifice worth jack.
What is wrong with Kasparov he lost?
