hmm... i just re-read what i wrote and i may have been unclear... i was thinking
about for example the kramnik-kasparov match where almost every game was
drawn... and what i meant was that if this series comes down to the final two
games, and junior has the only full wins of the series, THEN i'll say fritz is
cooked.  usually though computer matchups don't produce long strings of draws
like that unless you're playing an engine against itself......
