I would agree with your logic accept for the fact that I believe a small part of his winning this is to show how weak he thinks these micro programs are compared to deep blue. I believe that he may want to demonstrate that he can dominate these programs better than Kramnik. I say this because I remember him talking about what a joke it was when the Fritz vs Kramnik match was being compared to his match with Deep Blue. In other words we may get very lucky and he may crush this program to show that A) These programs cannot be compared to what he loss to in Deep Blue and B) He is stronger than Kramnik at defeating these machines.
