Ljubojevic: "Don't bury us yet"
Although after Sochi he had to go back to Beijing to get his visa for The Netherlands, Wang Yue managed to win his first four games in Amsterdam. And after another round without wins, Agdestein and Ljubojevic are the topscorers in the Experience team, with three draws and one loss.However, Ljubo asked me not to emphasize this trivial little fact. "Do praise the young players, but don't burry us yet!"The score is now a devastating 16-4 for the Rising Stars team:
