CAMAGÜEY. - The clash has happened several times, “I have won some, but he goes ahead”, she clarifies. He smiles and does his best move: "most of the time we work together and help each other”.

 Ineymig Hernández Gil is 16 years old and has just ratified herself as the most promising figure of the Cuban feminine chess on having concluded fourth in the National Championship of senior. Jorge Elías Reyes has started 20 sheets to the calendar and it obtained the same place in the masculine fight to give him the second air to his career. Both FIDE Masters (FM) achieved similar targets in their first appearances in the elite of the game science in the country: they stayed among the five first ones, got points before the opponent with qualifications of Grand Master (GM) and completed the first norm of International Master. The coincidences in the passion for the chess have led them, also, to loving each other.

 “We have been engaged for three years”, it was the last thing that he said (E) in the dialogue with Adelante Digital, so that the detail should not remain out of our pages, causing the blush of Ineymig (I). Minutes earlier, the conversation was passing between the chessmen, since their performances in the national finals demanded it.

 E: “I knew that this would be the most difficult tournament of my life because the semifinal also turned out to be like that. Previously, I had faced players of this level, but not during several days. That's why I prepared myself very well, checked my repertoire and analyzed the last games of those whom I was going to face. I identified mistaken patterns in my decision making and replaced them”.

 I: “This year my trainer changed our system prioritizing the quality and not the quantity. We check the main difficulties of my routines and try to improve them. In the semifinal, I began to add points and I never pressed myself for the record that I was achieving, I stayed concentrated in doing the best action for every position. At the final, I arrived with less tension because I have nothing to lose and much to gain”.

 Ineymig advanced to the super round after making all open-mouthed in the semifinal, while her partner had the opportunity to detach a career that some of them believed suspended.
