How can it be.. Last time the Israeli leader Misha Zilberman met the world thunderstorm in face of LD juct early in a first round. Now - SONY?? In first round? Come on, let guy to win some more!? He is able to pass through 1 or 2 rounds, but not these guys
Dont worry now,....as SDK has withdrawn....MZ will get a bye now.........he is in 2nd round now...Happy ? lol
well after talking to Misha, he was so happy! (and promise to give me his shoes) so i asked him if he getting any rating points from WO, but he was not able to answer me..any help? btw Misha will be facing Brice Leverdez from France OR Dicky Palyama from the Netherlands.
ok thank to inform us I dont know these players but sure it seems much playable than 'LD and brothers'
from what i know Dicky was in israel for hatzor open tournament and won the 3nd or the 2nd place. He is very high quality player who will give Misha a good fight it will be experience VS youth power. i put my money on Dicky VS Misha on the next round, but both player are better (for Misha) then LD or LCW or even SDK.
..imo, Brice has a very good chance to win his match vs. Dicky P. What with his homecrowd support cheering him on with the "Allez Brice" chants..So, Misha could be playing Brice instead of Dicky P. in the next round..
Hatsor probably is the strongest club in Israel, despite never someone from there was about winning Misha as I know. I am afraid no one here able to play abroad successfully (may be bacause of that I was so disappointed with Sony)
I hate to say it, but maybe the WC is just not really misha's place to shine.... He's a good player, but his 2010 career so far (WC, EC, Russia Grand prix, Spanish Open, Dutch Int, Polish Int, Austrian int, and Swedish Int) has consisted of 80% first-round-knock-outs. (http://www.toernooi.nl/sport/player.aspx?id=8814917B-95DF-4C90-8A6E-15ED1E82077D&player=29) Maybe tournaments on world level are just not cut out for him (yet?).
yes you are right. probably the military service still prevents of normal tranings. he destroys here all opponents by walking hard to believe who these that beat him ..
