Tell that to Grandmaster Boris Gulko!

Shay Bushinsky author of Junior 7 along with Amir Ban explained the Match Rules,
and trusts GM Gulko's integrity.

The problem with your question assumes GM Gulko could and might cheat!

Now if he wins the match you and others might say GM Gulko may have cheated!

It is simply wrong to challenge GM Gulko's honesty.

It's not even a serious match, why would he even bother to cheat?

His credentials are impressive, and I expect a close score, giving the edge to
GM Gulko.
