Psychology seems to play such a big factor in the outcome. If the human can maintain his confidence and be sure of him self they still can out play the program. If and when the player makes a mistake like in the Kramnik Deep Fritz match or the Kasparov Deeper Blue match. The human grandmaster starts to play with less energy and the computer seems to come back. I think 6 games will help Kasparov if he gets off to a good start, and I think he should win, but my confidence in that prediction is not high given his track record. I would love to see the human do well, as this will bring life back into the computer Vs human matches. If the computer wins I don’t know if we will see many more of these high prize computer Vs human matches.
