You may be correct, it's hard to say for certain how Kasparov will actually approach Deep Junior. This is the least amount he needs to win, but I think he will want to put on a Good Show, so my gut says 4-2. He probably could win 6-0 if playing at his best, but somehow I don't think it will go that way. If it did, what an uproar that would create!:o) Terry
