nobody knows the future, but some people have proofed to be able to predict
pretty good.

sure, but the chances for winning are much lower than for loosing.

be sure that the improvement of the chessbase engines lay far behind rebel or
shredder for example.

you can never be sure, but take it as a prediction that the winning program in
london is minimum 50(!) elo better than fritz 6a.

because the elo-gap is too big.
besides that you need luck.
no question.
but there are operators who FORCE the luck regurlarely because they do a perfect
preparation, a perfect job each time.

remember last year. everyone was sceptic when i predicted shredder to win the
title. now everyone is sceptic when i predict chessbase NOT to win the title.
we will see...
