Cuban superstar Leinier Dominguez was born in 1983 and , along with Bruzon and Quesado, has given a fresh new face to Cuba's chess community. Leinier recently competed in the Capablanca Memorial in Havana and finished a respectable 2nd/3rd place, half a point behind Hungary's Zoltan Almasi. Dominguez was also the only undefeated player in the tournament.
Dominguez shares much in common with Capablanca, in particular a thoroughly logical style of play aided with a lethal precision that is sometimes mistaken for uninspired simplicity.

Congratulations to Russian chess player Valentina Gunina who had her GMapplication approved on May 7! She became the 29th woman in the history of chess to be awarded the title.
Round 1, Viswanathan Anand vs. Magnus Carlsen: draw
A blitz tournament has been played out to determine who would get more Whites in the classical event. Teimour Radjabov crushed all the four of his opponents in the first few rounds to secure 1.5 point lead. After drawing a winning endgame against Hikaru Nakamura, he collapsed and scored only 0.5 points in the remaining rounds.
Before the final round Svidler, Anand and Karjakin had 5.5/8. Carlsen (5) managed to take revenge for a last-round loss with White in the Candidates against Svidler and finished at 6/9. Anand drew his game & Karjakin won.
