The last time that they played they beated adams 5.5-0.5 and I think that it is
the best performance of chess programs against humans and earlier they beated
shredder in a match so it was logical for people to consider them as favourite.

Note that I do not consider them as favourite to win because I read that
Shredder had bugs in the relevant match and I think that in the way that adams
played he could also lose in similiar result against other programs but it is
only my opinion.
