Unfortunately...

1 Shredder,       [6.5]     :     Chinito,    [4.5]
2 Junior,         [6.5]     :     Sjeng,      [4]
3 Diep,           [5]       :     Brutus,     [6]

That doesn't make the chances for Brutus winning look very good. Looks like
either a tie between Shredder and Junior (in which case Shredder would win since
it beat Junior earlier), or an outright win for Shredder, since I don't think
Chinito will be able to do anything against Shredder, and Sjeng might be able to
get a half point or more against Junior (although not likely). In addition to
that, Brutus is playing Diep, and it's not by any means unlikely that Brutus
could win that game, but it's certainly not a sure win for Brutus.

It's not impossible, but I'd be shocked if it happened. Regardless of the
outcome, Brutus has shown itself to be able to compete with the world's best
engines. Brutus will either tie or finish ahead of Fritz, and that is certainly
something to be proud of.
