Cuba’s Alain Otero sealed with a draw his duel against Azerbaijani Shiroghlan Alibov, during the fourth round of the World Youth Chess Championship of Montesilvano 2023, in Italy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game ended after 50 moves of a Two Knight Defense, in which the Caribbean player moved the black pieces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The outcome left him with a total of 2.5 points, valid for 46th place in the under-18 age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Otero had to overcome during almost the entire game the weakness of a structure with doubled pawns on the c and g columns. In that circumstance he defended the position with the white squares bishop and his opponent did not find the way to materialize his advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the fifth round, the Havana native will move the white figures as a rival of the Indian Chakraborty Mayank, another player with 2.5 units, although by tie-breaker he occupies 39th place among the 134 contestants in the category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The occupants of the top were reduced to three. Kazakhstan’s Aldiyar Ansat, Russia’s Aleksey Grebnev and Italy’s Aron Pasti were the only ones with a perfect performance, ahead of a quartet with 3.5 points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the women’s tournament in the same category, the top of the ranking was occupied by Ukraine’s Yelyzaveta Hrebenshchykova, who won all four of her games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The event also summoned players under 16 and 14 years of age, grouped in the open and women’s segments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
