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)
