Larry and Curly decide to have a chess match. The probability of Larry winning is 0.4. Each time Larry wins, he gains confidence and the probability of winning the next game increases by 0.1. Each time he loses, his confidence goes down and his probability of winning the next game decreases by 0.05. Determine the probability that in a three game match Larry wins at least two games.
