This is in my opinion complete speculation, last time we got a rating performance from DJ6 against humans it was 2703 (on slower hardware and weaker program) so if we assume that this time on stronger hardware, and a stronger engine, keep in mind that DF7 beat DJ7 which was an improvement over DJ6, DF7 is rated 2750 or more then the numbers you come up with makes no sense at all, and we should remember that all the top players of today owns atleast a copy of the above mentioned programs and then some. If we assume the rating of 2750 is about right then it would be the actual playing strenght, then there is the matter of perfect endgame which, last time i checked, is a privilege reserved for computers only, also the antihuman play is almost by definition implemented in all of todays programs, all this taken into account makes the match, to me, very open indeed. Computers never have a bad day, they don't sweat under pressure, they don't care about money, they haave no ego and they play the board NOT the man!! Regards Jonas
