✳️ #about_Dominguez

🔹 Leinier Domínguez!!
🔹 Cuban chess grandmaster

🔰 Leinier Domínguez Pérez is a Cuban chess grandmaster. He competed in the FIDE World Chess Championship in 2002 and 2004, and the FIDE World Cup in 2007, 2009, 2011, 2013 and 2015. Domínguez Pérez was world champion in blitz chess in 2008.

🔘 Full name: Leinier Domínguez Pérez
🔘 Country: Cuba
🔘 Born: September 23, 1983 (age 34)
🔺Havana, Cuba
🔘 Title: Grandmaster (2001)
🔘 FIDE rating: 2739 (September 2018)
🔘 Peak rating: 2768 (May 2014)
🔘 Ranking: No. 20 (October 2017)
🔘 Peak ranking: No. 10 (May 2014)

🔰Dominguez is Latin America’s top player and a 4-time Champion of Cuba, a country that has held chess players in high regard since Jose Raul Capablanca reigned supreme as World Champion in the interwar years of the 20th century. In 2008 he became World Blitz Champion, with Alexander Grischuk remarking that Dominguez moves faster in over-the-board chess than any player he’s ever seen.

🔰 In classical chess Dominguez’ career has perhaps been characterised more by consistency than spectacular results, although his victory in the 2006 Magistral Ciutat de Barcelona-Casino stands out – he finished on 8/9 a full 1.5 points ahead of Vassily Ivanchuk. He also tied for first in Biel 2008 ahead of Magnus Carlsen and Etienne Bacrot, while five years later in 2013 he hit the chess headlines again by taking clear first at the Thessaloniki Grand Prix and breaking into the World Top 15.
