On the other hand, the FM Yusnel Bacallao (2438) eliminated with whites the favorite GM Walter Arencibia (2536) and he incorporated with his 5.0 pints to the group that will fight today for one of the five tickets toward the second phase.
In the most attractive match in the day and after four hours of game, the GM Reynaldo Vera (2479) appealed to his experience and tied with black pieces in front of the FM of Las Tunas Humberto Blanco (2434) who was very close to the victory and almost achieves a norm of Grand Master.
The GM Luis Manuel Perez (2521) and the FM Lelys Martinez (2485) divided the point; the same as the GM Frank de la Paz (2491) and Yuri Gonzalez (2507); as well as the FM Jose Angel Guerra (2411) and Roberto Garcia (2295), a promise of 16 years old.
