Poor Aronian.
It’s time for Carlsen to make his move. He has the easier matchups in the last 2 rounds. Dominguez has to face Ivanchuk and Karjakin.
So despite his draw Carlsen closed in, now just being half a point behind Aronian. Tight situation in this year’s A group with +2 being sufficient to lead with only two rounds to go.
What happened?
I am impressed with Dominguez’s play. i have the feeling that this guy is gonna be a super-elite player. He only needs a good coach and better time management.
He won the World Blitz Championship, so definitely he’s good. Capablanca and Fischer were also the best blitz players during their time.
Dominguez is an excellent player. I guess in the US people have not noticed him until now since he represents Cuba.
Very poor play of Aronian.
Dominguez is great!
He’s going to make the Americans bite the dust,once again,as Capa did 😉
Why poor?
