May-24-08  Augalv: <17.Bxg7: What I found surprising in <chessgames.com> is that there is a link for the Argentinean championship, but there is no link for the Bosna Sarajevo tournaments which includes some of the best players in the world and there wasn't a link for the Capablanca Memorial two weeks ago>

There are <17.Bxg7>

Bosnia Sarajevo Tournament and Bosnia Sarajevo Tournament (group B)

But as you say there is no link of last Cuban Memorial. There is last year's memorial's link though. I wonder why the 43rd cuban memorial wasn't put up on Cg.com this year.

May-25-08  Youjoin: Seven players tied for first (3/5) after the 5th round.
May-26-08  Augalv: Standings after round 6

1 FELGAER, Ruben 4.0
2 RICARDI, Pablo 4.0
3 VALERGA, Diego 4.0
4 SALGUERO, Francisco 3.5
5 ALONSO, Salvador 3.5
6 PERALTA, Fernando 3.0

9 REAL DE AZUA, Ernesto 3.0
10 MAHIA, Gustavo 2.5
11 LIASCOVICH, Lucas 2.5
12 LUCONI, Cristian 0.0

May-26-08  nomaster: <Augalv>, Zarnicki plays very little competitive chess nowadays, if any.
May-26-08  Augalv: Thanks.
May-28-08  Youjoin: Felgaer is in the lead with 5,5 points after round 8.
May-29-08  Augalv: I hope Ruben wins the tournamet and to see him in the 2600 league again.
May-29-08  minasina: If anyone knows where can find PGNs for Cuban Memorial 2008, please tell it to admins: chessgames.com chessforum
May-29-08  Youjoin: Felgaer defeated Peralta in the 9th round. He´s the sole leader with 6,5 points, with two rounds to go. Tomorrow he´ll face Luconi, that has lost his nine games.
May-31-08  Youjoin: But he lost to the underdog Luconi and now Flores reached him. Today is the last round.
Jun-01-08  Youjoin: Felgaer is the new champion. He had better tie-breaks than Valerga and Peralta, all tied with 7 points. Diego Flores was a few moves from being the champion, but he blundered incredibily in his game against Real de Azua and finished in 5th place.
Jun-01-08  Augalv: Congrats Ruben!
Jun-16-08  falso contacto: <<17.Bxg7: What I found surprising in <chessgames.com> is that there is a link for the Argentinean championship, but there is no link for the Bosna Sarajevo tournaments which includes some of the best players in the world and there wasn't a link for the Capablanca Memorial two weeks ago. On the other hand, it is nice tha there are people in <chessgames.com> willing to follow local championships, often forgotten by the masses on the internet. In this particular case, despite the fact they barely have one player who has been over 2600, the field of this championship is fairly strong of a national tournament. In Latin America, only Cuba surpasses Argentina in this aspect.>>

at least we have a link.
we have some good players these days
and we have some kind of tradition.

Jun-16-08  falso contacto: spangenberg was a very good player,also.
he and zarnicki are both retired.
Jun-16-08  Augalv: <falso contacto:> Hugo Spangenberg is playing in the Torneo de la "Despedida" del Presidente Jorge Guelman En el Club Argentino de Ajedrez.

Here's the link of list of participants, schedule and results of first round:

Jun-17-08  Augalv: De nada <falso contacto>

Y yo la verdad que tambien me alegro.

I don't get it. Was there a championship in May (the crosstable and games above) and another one again in August?

  Stonehenge: I think the Championship held in May was for the year 2007.
May-02-09  Augalv: Maria Florencia Fernandez wins Argentine women championship

Maria Florencia Fernandez (not rated according to FIDE and rated 2105 according to the Argentinian Chess Federation) is the surprising new female champion of Argentina. She won the competition ahead of many titled players, among which the Dresden Olympiad team member IM Carolina Lujan, WIM Elisa Maggiolo, WIM Marisa Zuriel, WFM Stefanie Amed, and WIM Sandra Malajovich. María Florencia Fernández did not lose a single game during the competition and won the title a full point ahead of the chasing pack.

To make the championship even more surprising the second position went to yet another untitled player, Ayelen Martinez (15 years old, rated 1894), and the third place is WFM Maria De Los Angeles Plazaola (rated 2160). The top seeded IM Lujan could only share place 4-5 with WIM Maggiolo.

Congrats Maria Florencia!

The reason I've posted my comment on this page is because Maria Fernandez doesn't have her own player page at CG.
