I think I'll go out on a limb here; I think Yermo will lose this match. His results haven't been real steller of late (true, he's been playing the very best), and these programs are being 'tuned' better than ever to play active 'anti-human' chess. Anyway this could be a fun poll question, much in the spirit of pridictions made for the score of the Fischer-Spasski match in 1972. Most chess player's pridicted that Fischer would indeed win. Fine hit the actual phisical score on the head. Future GM, Andy Soltis pridicted Spasski would win by 12 and half to 11 and a half! See p. 283 of the excellent book, 'The Best Of Chess Life and Review, Vol 2', for some the other pridictions:) mrslug - the inkompetent chess software addict!
