What does that have to do with the point I made?  Smirin was _winning_ in
the first three games.  He won one and drew the other two due to making
mistakes, most likely caused by time pressure in the fairly short time
control used...

He should have lost against Junior.  That would have been three wins, then
a loss and then a draw and another win against tiger, out of six games...

Smirin was lucky to get to play Junior again rather than losing.  But then
he was very unlucky to lose two won games and having to settle for draws due
to time problems.

He is still less "lucky" than the programs, in that regard...
