Can tiger see the blocked pawn position in game 1 is drawn? Does tiger know the endgame of game 2 was lost? Tiger is full of holes like fritz, but we won't get them exposed until we get a GM match (possibly Super GM). >Nobody has Junior8 except Amir Ban and Junior7 is old >(more than one year old) so we do not know exactly what holes >were fixed by Amir. Oh let's take make some wild and crazy guesses then: Junior8 will prefer not to have double pawns, Junior 8 will prefer connected passed pawns and Junior 8 won't like pawn islands? All good rules, working fine 99% of the cases, but then there are the exceptions. Most players tries to steer the game into positions like that. Problem is Kasparov is so strong he can simply play his usual kind of game and will win anyway! >I expect kasparov to win but I believe that Junior >is going to score better relative to Fritz. If K-F ends 7.5-0.5 then I agree with you. -S. >Uri
