Against a prepared human I read here by the >experts the program will play like a weak 2100-2200 player. Can you provide a reference message for this claim, or did you simply make it up? Certainly preparation is going to help, but not in such a devastating way unless a serious flaw is discovered. And (in addition) a 2100-2200 player is by no means weak. Probably, he/she/they/it will beat 90% of the players in the world. >Who is the favorite in the match DeepFritz or GM Huebner? Based upon what we have seen so far, I think it will be about even, or perhaps a slight edge to Huebner. But there are a lot of variables. Perhaps Huebner eats some bad tuna. Perhaps a serious flaw is discovered in the computer program (e.g. a certain pattern can defeat it again and again). Perhaps a serious flaw is found in Huebner's approach where *he* can be beaten again and again (unlikely, but not inconceivable). At any rate, it is cetainly a very interesting match.
