I predict 5-1 or worse and the 1 point as 2 draws. I think people are
underestimating the strength of the programs and the fact that most any mistakes
are caught. The fact that Kasparov had to explain why his "drawn" game was
actually won to Polgar just shows that there are levels in chess and then again,
there are levels in chess. Xie Jun is too far down on the overall GM food chain
(low 2500s, approximately #200 in the world) to be considered a serious threat
to Junior (and 4 of the games are scheduled on Saturday/Sunday, a real tough
schedule for the 2 Sunday games).

IMO.
