I came pretty close only missing Zappa-DJ where I predicted a draw, but got the rest right. In any case I expect Zappa to lose the last game to Isichess then. But it still ends world champion. > >I thought that it may happen but saw that other people like Junior and for some >reason think that it is favourite to win and not zappa. I personally thought that Zappa would at least get a draw espically given the advantage of the white pieces and might even win if DJ overpressed, but with zappa leading at this stage, I thought Anthony would try for a drawish line to play safe. Zappa is very underestimated despite good results in real tournaments. People only judge it by the public versions they test, but in the hands of its author, private zappa is very very tough. When I saw it leading after the first day, I knew it had good chances to win it all despite some talk about it having yet to met the strong opponents. >I am from Israel and I did not want to be too much against Junior and gave it >the second place in my prediction. > >Uri
