Why I think both GM will loose badly: 1. This is rapid chess - a big advantage for any program 2. This is a "warm-up"- Match for the GMs. That means no special preparation, they don't take it seriously and they won't play with maximum power to save energy for the "real event". However I think Chess960 favors the programs even more than normal chess since the human won't be able to reach positions he understands and is comfortanble with. Chess960 is tactics from the very beginning I doubt we will see a Chess960-Match against any decent engine which can be drawn by the human. regards Joachim
