I have played 155 tournament games in my career and i have never lost or drawn a single game against any person that was 150 rating points below me. In a mere 6 game match yermo could be expected to take H7 out 6 0. My rating is currently in the 1900s. I'm sure there are many players with similar records. This leads me to believe that there is some error when one predicts that in a 6 game match that a 2500 player should score 2/6 against a 2630 player. I certainly hope H7 is much stronger than 2500, otherwise this will just increase speculation about the progs strength. This because if it loses all of the games we can only judge it's strength by the quality of play not by how many games it lost. A 2500 player would be a much better purely investigative experiment. Alas we must take what we can get. This match should be more fun from a spectators point of view, but from an investigative point of view, there may not be much knowledge gleaned, unles H7 is considerably stronger than 2500. Everyone primarily has been wanting to demonstrate that comps are at least 2500 first.
