Hi George
A very important remark: the psychological factor plays a great role
I think. Provided both players (the 2560 Elo and 1980 Elo) do nothing
know about their ratings, it could be possible for the weaker player to
get two draws out of three games with very careful play. From my own
experience I can say it is in most cases easier to get a draw vs the
stronger opponent by playing sound but rather actively.
