The National Master Eliécer García Vineyards, head of the Provincial Committee of this sport, told that of the last national events realized in Camagüey, this is one of those of major quality for the level of the players.

“The majority are young talents that have arising, but that has not affected our Elo collective, which is about 2 300 points and is superior to that of many previous tournaments. The games have been very strong and an enormous parity has been seen among all the athletes”, he said after extoling that this time the tournament has been marked by the presence of contenders from potencies like Villa Clara and Holguín.

The "Migoya" tries to be introduced among the principal competitions that shape the chess Cuban calendar and have international character again, as in the decade of the 80s.
