My best guess is going to be right in the middle of the pack.  The only wild-
card is that van der Sterren won't play it, and giving it an automatic 1 there
is a big plus.

I think the interesting thing will be the last half of the games, after it has
played several good players and everyone has a chance to study it a bit...  I'd
be highly surprised to find it winning this unless this is a game/60 or game/30
type event.  I didn't see the time control...  what does it look like???  if it
is one of the faster limits I gave above, then my opinion will revise upward to
somewhere in the top 3 or so...
