I consider GM Hübner a slight favourite. I see that some of my comments were interpreted in a strange way, which is not surprising as English is not my mother language. I am impressed by the way GM Hübner drew a difficult position under time pressure, not by the fact that GM Hübner drew against Fritz! Even top grandmasters like Kasparov, Anand and Kramnik get inferior positions very often. But they lose very few of them. Those players have excellent defensive technique. Four games are left. It is very likely that Fritz will get a difficult position itself. Wheter it will be able to hold, is to be seen. But I expect Hübner to "torture" Fritz a lot more before taking a draw from an advantageous position. José.
