Con unas frías y pálidas tablas (para mi gusto) el GM Lázaro Bruzón dejó escapar la posible corona del Bay Area 2019 frente Macieja y donde incluso comandó gran parte de la partida.

Macieja, Bartlomiej ½-½ Bruzon Batista, Lazaro

La cara opuesta fue Yuniesky, quién de tanto forzar estuvo gran parte de la partida totalmente perdido y tras un descuido de su rival revertió el resultado y en un final emocionante en extremo se llevó el triunfo para mejorar una posición final en un torneo que no mostró su mejor ajedrez.

General

Both GM and IM norms possible! The Bay Area International begins only a couple of days after the Pan American Intercollegiate (in the same hotel!) as well as the North American Open in Las Vegas end so is a very convenient event for those playing in either.

The International is open to players with FIDE Ratings above 2000 (a few special exceptions may be made at the discretion of the organizers). But to ensure players of having good chances to make GM norms, a maximum of one-third of the total field will be permitted to be U2200 FIDE (January Rating Supplement will be used).

With the relaxed seven day schedule, there should be ample opportunity for players to tour one of the US’s most popular cities. And along with that, with five days of the tournament having only one game, this will be one of the very few US events which will allow players the opportunity to earn one of the special GM norms required by FIDE to obtain the GM title.
