Its hardware advantage against at least 3 of those is pretty difficult to
handle.  While it might lose all the games, it should win 3 of them handily and
the other two will be closer.

Unfortunate to see the top games over already.  Now the last 5 rounds are just
going to be "chess" unless an unexpected upset changes the top group, which is
not very likely (although always possible).
