Las Tunas.- Los maestros internacionales Michel Díaz y Humberto Pecorelli encabezan el equipo de Las Tunas que participará desde este lunes en el primer Torneo Nacional de Ajedrez Online, con la presencia de colectivos de todas las provincias del país y el objetivo de mantener activa a la familia cubana del Juego Ciencia en medio de la pandemia de la COVID-19.

Díaz, número 23 del ranking nacional, exhibe el mejor coeficiente Elo convencional del elenco tunero, con 2459 unidades. El jugador de 25 años viene de una mala experiencia en la semifinal de Cuba, acogida en enero pasado por la ciudad de Villa Clara, por lo que intentará resarcirse ahora como líder del conjunto.

El otro pilar del equipo será el veterano Humberto Pecorelli, de 2392 puntos Elo y una larga experiencia en el mundo de los trebejos. El Maestro Internacional posee un coeficiente ligeramente superior (2422) en el ritmo Blitz (partidas de entre tres y cinco minutos), que será el utilizado en la lid. De hecho, este fin de semana Pecorelli ganó varias partidas en una jornada de prueba de cara a la inauguración del torneo.

La nómina que nos ofrece el Experto Nacional Edilberto Mercantete incluye además a los maestros Fide Michel Machado (2219) y Mario Diéguez (2293), capitán del grupo, junto a la Maestra Fide femenina Yaíma Valdivia (1999).

El equipo se completa con los maestros nacionales Adrián Parra (2211), Fernando Núñez (2179), Daylín Magariño (1929) y Michel González.

La competición debe comenzar a las 3:00 de la tarde de este lunes en la plataforma Lichess (www.lichess.org) y prevé otorgar dos unidades por victoria y una por cada tabla, al tiempo que registrará solo los resultados de los seis primeros jugadores de la rama masculina y la mejor fémina de cada conjunto.

La lista de jugadores tuneros tiene ausencias notables, como la del Gran Maestro Lázaro Bruzón, ahora radicado en Estados Unidos, o la de la campeona olímpica Yaniet Marrero. Otros jugadores como los MI Máikel Gongora (2423), Humberto Blanco (2442) y Juan Carlos Obregón (2520), todos con residencia fuera de Cuba, podrían haber reforzado igualmente a la escuadra
