Once again the national champion of the Island faced the ghost of mistaking the plans in the middle game. After leaving well of the opening had to surrender before the German Lev Yankelevich, in 46 plays of a system of Pawn Lady.

This was not the first match in which he encountered difficulties, but on previous occasions he taught a successful game in the finals, something that combined with mistakes made by his rivals made him save the games, even if it was a draw.

Now he moved the black pieces and came lower at the end of the towers, where he could not do anything to get at least the equality that kept him away from the failure, and he stayed at 3.5 points out of seven rounds.

His opponent climbed to 5.5 to stay second, after a Studer that added his sixth victory in the fair and dominates the classification with 6.5, by beating the late Aurelio Colmenares, another of the local contestants who has just scored a line.

On a very combative date, the Russian Nikita Petrov also won the Swiss Oliver Kurmann, and the German Luis Engel also home Theo Stijve, as published on the website of the organizers.
The only equality of the day was signed by the Austrian Dominik Hovath and the German Dennis Wagner.

Now to Studer and Yankelevich it follows Petrov, that also shows 5,5 units, and in the absence of pair of dates already it seems that they will be the occupants of the podium.

Lagging behind, in fourth place, Wagner with four stripes, and then come Albornoz and Engel with 3.5 each. Stijve and Horvath share owners of just two units per capita, Kurmann appears with 1.5 and the sotanero Colmenares with one. (JIT)
