Tuesday "itching" in Capablanca Memorial
Kaloian The defeats of the Grand Masters (GM) Leinier Domínguez (2726) and Lázaro Bruzón (2693) were the talk on Tuesday at Memorial Capablanca chess. Without doubt, both have fallen short of expectations in this tournament. Leinier fell with black in 45 moves against Vietnamese GM Le Quang Liem (2687), a leader of the tournament. It is the second failure of GM Güines in the event, something quite rare for a player of his class. Imagine
Leinier not lost in the Capablanca since 2006 and has now been beaten twice, just off smaller rivals Elo. According to statistical data Laporte Carlos Martinez, the last time he had given to a player with less than 2700 was in October 2008 when the Russian succumbed Dreev (2657) in the club tournament in Spain. adding everything, Leinier had almost a year and a half without losing before this Capablanca. His last hangman was the Norwegian Magnus Carlsen in January 2010. What do you think? Maybe he is going account some inactivity in recent times, besides the pressure to want to win and remove the specter of the tables that desperate fans. Let's take a vote of confidence. Meanwhile, Bruzón gave white pieces on Tuesday in front of the world junior champion Dmitry Andreikin (2687), who had already defeated in the first round. GM may need more blanks pear top-level tournaments, which is very important to control anxiety. It takes time playing against inferior opponents and that can not lose sight.
Le Quang Liem and now Andreikin were alone at the top of the Elite Group in Capablanca, as the Czech GM David Navara (2702) gave half a unit against Ukrainian Vassily Ivanchuk Genius (2776). Indeed, the two leaders clash today in the first table and the Russian take the white pieces.
The remaining items will be the seventh time Leinier-Ivanchuk and Bruzón-Navara.

1-2.
Andreikin and Le Quang Liem (4 points), 3. Navara (3.5), 4
. Ivanchuk (3), 5
. Leinier (2), 6
. Bruzón (1.5). The Premier Group was crossfire and the five items had a winner. To make matters worse, in the first four tables won the black pieces. Let : Canadian GM Mark Bluvshtein (2589) exceeded the Mexican GM Manuel Leon Hoyos (2562), the Italian Daniele Vocaturo GM (2540) defeated International Master Isam Ortiz (2569), Peru's Emilio Cordova GM (2561) beat FIDE Master Ermes Espinosa (2467) and GM Aramis Alvarez (2538) defeated the national champion Yuniesky Quesada (2626). Indeed, Aramis has a streak of three straight victories. Entered the group at the last minute to replace GM Holden Hernández and you see what you have given up. Finally, Pinar del Rio GM Fidel Corrales (2586) was the only won with white pieces against capital GM Omar Almeida (2555).
