If you remember I told that I felt very pessimistic for the match against Hydra as my prediction was to lose some games and win none...because I felt we were going to use a buggy version...as SMK if you do not believe me... Last year I was pessimistic and SMK knew it too...

Yes, Zappa has the best chances...see my expectation...I think second place is within our chances...of course oN a few games the luck factor can play a lot, but I am confident on second place...we need to have too much luck for the first one...better to keep some for Torino!:-) > >Uri Sandro
