| mindanalyzer: so it seems that he did not bring Giselle (his cute nuclear physicist girlfriend) to Linares. Why Dominguez? Why? :( |

| mindanalyzer: I don't think Lenier is showing the same level of confidence in Linares than he he did in Corus. It could also be that the field is much stronger. Not to take anything from GM aryam Abreu, but I still think that he needs a TIER 1 coach; At this super GM level it shows. |

| Billy Vaughan: Dominguez is also the lowest-rated GM in this tournament. I think he's doing OK. He's playing good chess and I wouldn't be surprised to see him pick off a win or two and finish with his head above the water. |

| Billy Vaughan: OK, maybe he isn't doing that OK. |

| KamikazeAttack: I am fast becoming a fan of this guy. He has played strong chess in recent years and mixed it well with the best. Perez is here to stay, he has an exclellent understanding of the game. |

| mindanalyzer: lenier drawminguez :) |
|

| mindanalyzer: just kidding :) He has played well and has tried his best, fighting in most of this games. He just needs a bit more time playing the elite so that he can start beating the top 10 |

| mindanalyzer: Dominguez plays well against everyone not named Carlsen. Somehow Carlsen has his number (with whites, blacks, ... even red or blue) |

| Troller: Dominguez is showing up on home soil again in the Capablanca Tournament. His main rivals are supposedly Timofeev and Savchenko, so Leinier is the real star - and obvious favourite - of the tournament this year. This site has some information regarding the tournament:
http://www.capablanca.co.cu/?q=node...
-but I don't know if there is live coverage anywhere. |

| Troller: Dominguez has taken the lead in La Habana, winning against Timofeev & Savchenko in round 3 and 4. 1. Dominguez 3
2. Meier 2˝
3-4. Khenkin, Savchenko 2
5. Bruzon 1˝
6. Timofeev 1
Rather disappointing so far for second seed Timofeev. I have uploaded some of the games here on cg, hopefully they will soon be available. |

| waustad: <troller> Your source was easier to use than the info I got from http://www.radionuevitas.co.cu/
Chssdom had the first two rounds posted in pgn, but I haven't seen the other rounds anywhere. My conversational Spanish is OK, but I wouldn't trust my translations very far. |

| Troller: Congratulations on another victory in Capablanca Memorial. There were quite a few very short draws in the tournament, but of course one cannot blame Dominguez for winning a full point ahead of Savchenko. Very nicely done! |

| Khapablanca: "Mojonera:, el nick; y "cojonudo", del machismo latino... todo en un solo y primer mensaje. Vaya record! Antes de opinar aqui, la gente debia cultivarse primero... En su caso de usted, comience con el vocabulario que los resultados los vera pronto y seran bienvenidos... Vera como a una primera intencion de decir una palabrota sucedera una segunda de decir una mejor. "Magnifico" por lo que dijo, por ejemplo. |

| Thuellin: According to Chessdom, Dominguez will be one of Topalov's seconds for the 2010 WCC match against Anand. Interesting news. http://www.chessdom.com/news-2009/d... |

| percyblakeney: Maybe Anand vs L Dominguez, 2009 helped getting him the job, Mig wrote that <Vishy Anand was outprepared by Dominguez in the Cuban's favorite Grunfeld. Even Peter Svidler sounded impressed by Black's new idea with 12..Ng4 and 13..Qb8> http://www.chessninja.com/dailydirt... |

| Open Defence: I wish he was in Anand's team, this is probably Topalov's plan to counter Anand's preparation in 1.d4 and perhaps make him stick to 1.e4 |

| Plato: Well, Dominguez didn't come close to defending his world blitz title (not that there's any shame in that, when faced with such an incredible field this year), but he does have the honor of being the only player who didn't lose at least one game to Carlsen in the blitz championship :) |
|
| Nov-23-09 |
| mindanalyzer: I am a big fan of Dominguez but from what I have seen he has not played that great this year. He has been constantly struggling against much lower-rated opponents. What could this be? |

 |
| Eyal: There's a short interview with Domiguez on the official site of the World Cup: http://www.ugra-chess.ru/eng/interv...
Re his winning the blitz world championship 2008, he says <To say the truth, I don't consider myself an excellent specialist in blitz… To my mind just all lucky stars met in the sky at the moment when I became the strongest at the championship.> |
|
| Nov-23-09 |
| Plato: Dominguez is a great guy. He's always very humble. I think he's also simply honest in this case. He's a very talented young player and I wish him all the best. |
