It depends very much on the hardware IMO. Still, I don't give him much chances
in only 60 minute games if the hardware is strong enough. If the hardware used
is a dual 1 GHz processor (any kind) or faster, then Gulko will lose 1.5-6.5 at
best IMO. Still, I have no idea how well he plays against programs so it is very
hard to say. He is a very experienced player, and a superb positional player,
all of which are in his favor, but he isn't at the height of his game, meaning
that tactics can easily be his undoing.
