Leinier Ya Está En La Tercera Ronda, Bruzón a Tie Break
Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Image not found or type unknown Leinier es el dueño del Elo más alto de Latinoamérica (dos mil 719 puntos).Autor: Juventud Rebelde Publicado: 21/09/2017 | 05:13 pm Leinier ya está en la tercera ronda, Bruzón a tie break En total, diez duelos se decidirán este viernes en las partidas rápidas y algunos favoritos tienen la vida complicada Publicado: Jueves 01 septiembre 2011 | 07:41:48 pm. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde El Gran Maestro (GM) cubano Leinier Domínguez (2710) dividió el punto este viernes en solo diez jugadas con el GM moldavo Viktor Bologan (2656) y clasificó para la tercera ronda de la Copa del Mundo de ajedrez, que se desarrolla en la ciudad rusa de Khanty Mansiysk. El güinero compró una ganga, pues le bastaba con tablas, y su rival apenas presentó batalla. En la siguiente fase, Leinier se medirá con el ganador del duelo entre el estadounidense Alexander Ivanov (2523) y el ruso Igor Lysyi (2632), quienes empataron las dos partidas clásicas y definirán su suerte este viernes en tie break. Mientras, Lázaro Bruzón (2682) desaprovechó las piezas blancas y fue derrotado por el GM español Francisco Vallejo (2716), en 60 movimientos de una defensa Siciliana. Veremos si puede recuperarse psicológicamente para las partidas rápidas, donde cualquier cosa puede pasar. Varios favoritos ya clasificaron para la tercera fase, entre ellos el ucraniano Vassily Ivanchuk (2765), los azerbaijanos Vugar Gashimov (2756) y Teimour Radjabov (2752), y el estadounidense Gata Kamsky (2756). También avanzaron otros conocidos como los rusos Alexander Morozevich (2737), Nikita Vitiugov (2726) y Dmitry Jakovenko (2716), el vietnamita Le Quang Liem (2717), el georgiano Baadur Jobava (2712), el italiano Fabiano Caruana (2712), el checo David Navara (2705), y la húngara Judit Polgar (2701). -

Players Biel International Chess Festival
2009 Players Biel International Chess Festival Players Boris Gelfand Israel, 41 yo Elo: 2755 World ranking: 9 Date and place of birth: 24.6.1968, in Minsk (Belarus) Lives in: Rishon-le-Zion (Israel) Israel ranking: 1 Best world ranking: 3 (January 1991) In Biel GMT: winner in 1993 (Interzonal) and 2005. Other results: 3rd (1995, 1997, 2001), 4th (2000) Two Decades at the Top of Chess This is not a comeback, since Boris Gelfand never left the chess elite in the last twenty years. However, at the age of 41, the Israeli player has reached a new peak and is experiencing a a third wind. He is back in the world Top-10, officially as number 9 (in fact, a virtual number 5, if one takes into account his latest results that have not yet been recorded). He had not been ranked so high since 2006. Age does not seem to matter for this player who is unanimously appreciated in the field, both for his technical prowess and his personality. In Biel, he will not only be the senior player of the Grandmaster tournament, but also the top ranked and the Festival’s most loyal participant. Since his first appearance in 1993, he has come seven times to Biel; it is precisely at this Festival that he earned one of his greatest victories: in 1993, he finished first in the Interzonal Tournament (which, by then, was the only qualifying competition for the world championship), out of 73 participating grandmasters (including Anand and Kramnik). His victory in Biel against Anand is mentioned in his book, My Most Memorable Games. -

GM Kjetil Lie put the Norwegians ahead with the kind of robust aggression typical of his best form on board four, and the teams traded wins on boards two and three.
