On the first game, Deep Junior was not worthy. Then a draw. People were unsure. Now with a GK loss, it is the machine which will dominate. Maybe it's just three games, with both sides about even so far. I think GK will win the match. In any case, I don't think we can establish a trend from this, except that computers will pound you if you make a slip and that humans will make moves that the computer does not understand. Of course, you could be right. Maybe the pressure of not making a slip for game after game wears on a player.
