Kasparov doesn't need to win all 3 to keep the title,
but at least 2 wins and 1 draw. Also the a priori odds
should be based on rating, adjusted perhaps with the
current match results. Since Kasparov still has much
higher rating, even with these losses accounted, his
odds in the match are better than 1:2000 or in 1:1000,
probably closer to 1:100-1:200.
