| veigaman: He is a very talented player without theorical preparation because of the lack of chess tradition in Venezuela. He has a natural talent to attack and also to play endgames. His games against collins was great |

Agdestein (2594) and the remaining three 2400+ opponents were all defeated. A short article in Spanish on Iturrizaga: http://ajedrezorinoco.com/modules.p... |

He finished the tournament with the same amount the points that: julio granda, akobian, ivanov, dercy lima.

| nomaster: He'll gain even more ELO ranking after the Iberoamericano. Depending on his result against Granda tomorrow, between 31 and 41 plus points. He may even be cut short of some of his achievements since there's a 100 point-per-term limit rule in use. |
