I did not pull the numbers out of a hat. That is the expectancy ratings. The
odds would say that a 0-6 result for ferret is not too likely. But could happen.
Remember this is an expectancy rating not a true rating. Its only 6 games. If
you think Ferret is a strong IM then the Expected result or best odds favor a
2-4 result for ferret. But anything can happen in a short match. Its possible
but not likley that if ferret is 2400 rated it could win the match by 6-0, but
it would be a long shot to say the least. Now if the match were 100 games long
and Morovic won 100-0 then it would be pretty good odds that ferret is below
1870 or Morovic rating is much higher then 2605. The more games that are played
the more they should fall into the expected range.
