I think that you forget that the game was one hour per game and that adams probably did not buy deep Junior and played many games against it before the match because he had to worry also about other games. I read that adams played in the regular way that he plays against humans and it is a mistake. Deep Junior can be a weak player but you need to play the right opening to discover it. Just remember that Anand develops his Anticomputer style over the las 10 >years and Rebel managed to draw against him in tournament regulation time two >years ago. 1)Anand did not play anti-computer style in the games against Rebel. 2)If the target is not to win but only to get a draw then it is clearly easier. Remember that 2176 player got a draw against Fritz6 by trading the pieces for an endgame. 2300 player also could draw against shredder by trading the pieces. Deep Junior is better than fritz6 but the difference between Xie Jun and 2176 is clearly bigger. I believe that if Xie Jun is going to play for a draw in every game and to play for a win only if she discovers that the computer blundered then she has good chances for 3:3 or even 3.5:2.5 Uri
