An elite "Capablanca"
“The 50th Capablanca contest will be the second strong of all times, at least as for the ELO of the six participants in its Elite Group, who have 2716 points, so the event will have category XIX in the scale of the FIDE”, ensures the reporter Miguel Ernesto Gómez Masjuán in the blog Mi Columna Deportiva.
Also, for the first time in the history five Great Teachers will agree with a coefficient superior to 2 700 units. According to the same source, this select group will be headed by the Great Cuban Teacher Leinier Domínguez, who again will be the contender with major ELO points (2 721). Along with him there will be his compatriot Lázaro Bruzón (2 670), and the Russians Ian Nepomniachtchi (2 720) and Dmitry Andreikin (2 718), who repeat the visit. This year there will make debut the Chinese Yu Yangyi (2 715) and the Ukrainian Pavel Eljanov (2 718), who will compensate partly the absence of the Philipine Wesley So (2 721), monarch of the previous year.
The competitions calendar includes another two groups: the Premier formed by ten players with an average superior to 2 560 points and in which six Cuban and four foreigners will participate; and the Open, to which 150 will gain access players classified by diverse routes.
