Round 7

After his hiatus from classical chess, Leinier Dominguez has climbed to the tenth place in the live ratings list. However, he could have lost a big share of the Elo points garnered since the US Championship had he lost his round six game against Kaido Kulaots, the underdog in Dortmund. Kulaots was a piece down with Black but had strong attacking chances as compensation. Dominguez gave back the piece and ended up getting a 44-move draw.

Meanwhile, Ian Nepomniachtchi defeated Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu in barely 19 moves from the white side of a Petroff Defence. The defending champion has won two and lost two in Dortmund this year. Teimour Radjabov v Daniel Fridman and Richard Rapport v Radoslaw Wojtaszek finished drawn.

Tomo a liberdade de sugerir à alguém da equipe de ChessBase uma análise mais abrangente da mencionada vitória em 19 lances entre os GMs Ian Nepomniachtchi e Liviu-Dieter Nisipeanu . Não é sempre que ocorre uma miniatura entre dois GMs desse nível ...daí minha humilde sugestão. Obrigado!

@HolaAmigo Escaping a communist dictatorship is a commendable choice on anyone's part.

@HolaAmigo: Very unfair statement about Dominguez. Every professional has every rights to legally improve his skills and opportunities. This is an absolutely selfish expectation that one can have from a professional athlete.

I don’t know if Dominguez has shaved or not. Should be save instead of shave?
