really 2-0 doesn't mean much.  i don't see how this is any different from the
matches played on ICC or FICS... you may lose 4 in a row, then turn around and
win 8 of the next 15 games... alot of it can be due to books, and engine
learning... i think its alot more volitile than human chess... anyway, when it's
game 19 game and junior is still up 2-0, then i'll say fritz is cooked.  fritz
could turn around and dominate this matchup.
