I think that if Kasparov can adopt Kramnik's usual style, he will probably win
the match.  But I don't know if he can resist the temptation to sacrifice in
some unclear positions (which he could probably win from if patient), which is
what caused Larry C. to lose hit match and caused Kramnik to fail to win his.
