Final Predictions

I'm in a gloomy mood today. That's probably because my mood is copied by Krasik, a dark day is coming. Dallas has used Zivanic/Kuljasevic/Schneider/Zorigt, which is the most predictable roster for Dallas in my humble opinion. Although without popularity during the regular season, Dallas won both post season matches with this roster. Their record with this line-up is currently 3/4, only losing to the Mechanics in the first week. Dallas got their revenge in the quarterfinals and week 9.

This is Marko Zivanic's first year for the Destiny, playing against many GMs, scoring a respectable 4/8. He has 6 draws, and a loss against Cuban Grandmaster Julio Beccera, but beating Philly's Sergey Kudrin. Larry, my only suggestion is to play d4 against Zivanic's Phillidor. My prediction is that Larry will win, and crush Zivanic with a super aggresive opening. 1-0 Boston

It's a rematch on board two as Dallas's 2007 and 2008 MVP Kuljasevic faces the Rookie of 2007, Jorge Sammour-Hasbun. Kuljasevic has an undefeated record of 5.5/7, with 4 wins and 3 draws playing on boards 1 and 2. Ironically, he has beaten Beccera even though Zivanic lost to him. Jorge hasn't been doing so well this season and maybe a third time is a charm, but not the whole way. Draw 1 1/2- 1/2 Boston

Unfortunately, Dallas doesn't have Stoopa this year, so Schneider had to take his place. While not as good (again, in my opinion only), he does have an even score, for a high rated board 3 with 4.5/9. While the Boston MVP will gambit as white. I believe that Esserman will win. 2 1/2- 1/2 Boston

Bayaraa Zorigt has definitely been my second choice for team MVP, without her, the Dallas wouldn't have done so well. She has an incredible 7/9, undefeated. Although Ilya has been on a streak, but however, I believe that the streak will end now. 2 1/2- 1 1/2 Boston

Krasik, if you win I'll get you a milkshake from Herrell's. :-)


However, if the Blitz go into another tiebreak, I believe that they will win. Also, please answer the poll.

P.S. Did anyone notice that on the week one, Zorigt's name is spelled wrong? Click here to see (on the bottom).

P.P.S. Greg's probably gonna modify it so the P.S. would look strange.
