A chess competition in which <A> is the present champion
<B> and <C> are the challengers


Furthermore,following:
•  0.6. = probability that B will Beat C in any match
•  0.5. =probability that A will Beat B in any match
•  0.7. = probability that A will Beat C in any match

<A> AND <B> are made to play a two games against each others max
If
one   of them wins both games,he gets to play a two-game
second round
with A ,the current
champion
.A retains his championship unless a second round is required and the challenger
beats A in both games.
  <


If A wins the initial game of the second round,no more games are needed




work out the probability that
A will retain his championship this year.




 i want a direct approach
I mean { 1- P(A asCHAMP) - P(B asCHAMP) }
is also fine and gives the answers
but i need a direct method
