I remember also the Polgar VS Fritz match of a few >years back, at the start of the match there was three draws and I believed that >Polgar was equal with fritz, but then the tables turned and she started to lose >a bunch of games, fritz in the end made Judit a Palzer! I don't think she played that many games? Anyways Patzer is derogatory and she is anything but a patzer! As for GM Smirin, he's very very strong, and I think he may not lose a single game? We'll know for certain of course after the match, but regardless I think he'll win the match. Maybe by a fair margin or maybe it will be close, but it's more likely he'll win then not. Terry
