Once more, the Brazilian Championship is held in the venerable Guanabara Chess Club in Rio de Janeiro. The Tournament director, opening the event, is GM Darcy Lima, president of the Brazilian Federation. On the right is IA Marcelo Einhorn, the chief arbiter.
A small clock issue between IM Maximo Macedo and GM Krikor Mekhitarian is soon resolved by FA Rafael Jerdy
It is a pleasure seeing top-seed GM Alexandr Fier participating. For years he has been living abroad, and now lives in Georgia with his wife.
The first moves against one of Brazil's top players
FM Ivan Nogueira was faced with the task, and though he got an excellent position, he cracked and lost to Fier
Last year's champion, GM Krikor Mekhitarian, also had to suffer his fair share of tribulations before winning
GM Felipe El Debs is the third seed
The ever-friendly GM Everaldo Matsuura is the final grandmaster in the group
Note that Matsuura may be the fourth grandmaster, but his rating is just behind IM Renato Quintiliano (2491 FIDE), who is on the rise, closing in on the GM title, and enjoying a great 2.0/2 start.
Annotating the game of the day is FM Ricardo Teixeira, a multiple finalist of the Brazilian Championship, and one-time vice-champion.
