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). -

I would like to mention that the whole family contributed to this book. We are also extremely thankful to our friends, who, thanks to their previous experience, have introduced us to the process of creating chess books, with their invaluable advice and ideas. Considering the abundance of material regarding this topic that was gathered, we decided to make this book only the first, lower level of the “Positional sacrifice” edition. My father and I worked hard to make sure that the new book will be as interesting as the first one, but also more adapted to the wider audience. -
