I don't think he was talking about the war, but simply because Junior isn't
going to stand a chance.

I don't think it matters at all. The holes that are in these programs are not
easily fixable, they are pretty much the same kind of errors - namely lack of
deep positional understanding.

I do think the match will be more interesting, because I don't think Kasparov
will be so "kind" to give away a draw here and there. He will try and win every
game! :)

I will put my money on Kasparov even if the games become more tactical. Smirin
could do it, and looks like Kramnik can do it easily - Kasparov is better than
both of those guys plus he has an old score to settle!
