I hope Loeky can win. That would be so cool for the Dutch fans.
I wanna see Adams win. He needs some confidence after getting crushed by Hydra 5.5 – .5.
Van Welly will win.
BTW,althought Adams might gain some confidence in the future ,but not intelligence necessary when playing computers.
Correction to my post before.
Obviously he already gained confidence thanx to new Mrs.Adams:
