Where games are referenced in Stewart’s text, many of them may be found at the Hastings Congress website - www.hastingschess.com Wang Yue (CHN) 2697 is the first Chinese player to have taken part in Hastings for some years.

  • Noruego Magnus Carlsen Vence Al Cubano Leinier Domínguez
    Image not found or type unknown www.juventudrebelde.cu Noruego Magnus Carlsen vence al cubano Leinier Domínguez El jovencito acabó con el invicto del Gran Maestro antillano que con 5,5 puntos comparte el tercer puesto del certamen Publicado: Jueves 29 enero 2009 | 01:16:15 am. Publicado por: Juventud Rebelde Después de negociar nueve tablas consecutivas, el jovencito noruego Magnus Carlsen (2776), a quien llaman con toda justicia el Mozart del ajedrez, se inventó una genialidad y acabó con el invicto del Gran Maestro (GM) cubano Leinier Domínguez (2717) en el supertorneo Corus de ajedrez. Ya habíamos dicho que Leinier debía andar con pies de plomo porque su rival llevaba las piezas blancas y con ellas suele ser muy peligroso. Y sucedió lo peor: nuestro muchacho se metió en apuros de tiempo y acabó cediendo un punto precioso. Algo parecido había sucedido en la Copa del Mundo de Khanty-Mansiysk 2007. Entonces Carlsen también venció a Leinier con blancas y lo eliminó en octavos de final. Pero esta vez se trata de otro tipo de torneo, donde una derrota no es el fin del mundo. De hecho, Leinier se mantiene en la parte alta de la tabla con 5,5 puntos y comparte el tercer puesto con el propio Carlsen, el azerbaijano Teimour Radjabov (2761) y el eslovaco Sergei Movsesian (2751). Medio paso por delante marcha el benjamín ucraniano Sergey Karjakin (2706), en tanto el armenio Levon Aronian (2750) se quedó solo en la cima tras superar este miércoles al británico Michael Adams (2712). Fue la tercera victoria de Aronian en el certamen y la segunda consecutiva, lo cual le permitió conservar el invicto —solo él y Carlsen no han perdido— y estirar su acumulado a 6,5 unidades.
