Subject: How will Junior Fare at Dortmund?

Junior 6 is slated to participate in the Dortmund tournament in July.  How well
do you think it will do?  My guess is that Junior will fare poorly against such
a strong field and could easily finish last.

By my calculation, Fritz performed at about 2590 level at the Dutch
Championship, if you discount the two games which were essentially forfeit wins.
 If Junior performs at a similar level, it could be in trouble.  The competition
at Dortmund will be much stronger including the likes of Khalifman, Anand,
Huebner, Leko etc.

Also, has there been any indication that any of the GMs will refuse to play
Junior?
