I feel (without any "sorrow" for her) that this increases the degree of difficulty in both events. On the day she should be analysing her next human opponents current games she will be playing Junior. On the days she should be studying her last game against Junior she will be playing humans. When I first saw the Junior Schedule I thought it had been "stretched" to give the human rest (as Kasparov needed against Blue2). The my prediction was around the 3-3 (2-2-2) mark. Now I lean towards your 5-1 (4-2-0). Bugger!
