One point coming from a win, the >other two points coming from draws. I would love to see that. Even a single win over a 2600 player at 40/2 is very difficult. A lot depends on how the GM decides to play, and on whether he can steer it to positions where the computer can't unleash some sort of wild tactical slugfest that only favors the machine... will be interesting to watch, as Ferret has been fairly aggressive over the past few months. If it doesn't "over-extend" (which I haven't seen it do very often) it might be able to at least "mix it up" and make the games non-boring, and if so, something good might happen.
