That works against humans, >but the computer doesn't care or get flustered. Another possible problem is if Junior is improved significantly until the match(I mean more than 100 elo improvement relative to Junior7). I believe that it is the only chance of Junior to win the match if kasparov does not try something stupid. I do not think that it is impossible and Amir Ban may have bigger motivation to improve Junior after having the match against kasparov. Uri
