GM M
ichele Borghetti of Livorno, Italy won the 2010 WCDF World Qualifying 3-Move Tournament, ahead of the legendary Grand Master Ron King of Barbados by 5 (Sonneborn/Berger) points. His success at the Qualification Tournament held at the Radisson Hotel at Dublin Airport, Ireland on the 27th – 30th of October, 2010 guaranteed Borghetti a shot at the World Title. I'm sure Michele has prepared himself for this match, studying pp and playing his sparring partner 2 time Italian Champion Sergio Scarpetta, an on-line fame. These two GM champs played a test match on July 9 thru 12 as for preparation of the upcoming WTM in Ohio, which ended after nine 2 game rounds with 2 wins and 12 draws each. Both Grand Masters are near equals as Italy's Dama Champions and each have held the Italian Championship several times.
