if deep junior uses 8 processors and even gets a 7 fold speed up then it will
come close to winning it all .my reasons are these
1.the gm's know that the junior will make no tactical blunders .
2.junior will play very accurate even in difficult positions .
3.plus if junior wins an early game there will be a phycological factor .
4.junior will play its best every game ,never getting tired .
5.lack of prep vs junior
6.there are a few gm's in there that are lets say not the VERY BEST.
