"Bad run" is the right term.  This happens.  On the other hand, I have had a
"good run"... probably better than I should have.  That happens too.  There are
4 more rounds.  Ferret has played Shredder and Junior.  Which are very strong
opponents.  I have played one opponent that fits that group, namely Nimzo.  I
stand a better chance of losing more games over the last 4 games than Bruce
does, as he has already lost to two good opponents.

And note that there are _many_ programs that _can_ win this event.  I think
every one is very dangerous, given just a bit of luck.  Ferret could win the
tournament, it could come out in the middle.  I could win, or I could come
out in the middle.  Same for Junior, Nimzo, etc.  Fortunately, that is why we
play the games in the first place... :)
