Win at will??  You have to be joking right?

Draw at will?  I don't think so.  Junior won't take any short draws so Kasparov
will have to work for his money.  Junior is always trying stuff and has teeth as
sharp as a razor if you slip up, so even Kasparov will have to be on his guard
otherwise he will be embarassed.

I predict a drawn match.
