Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz (Grand Chess Tour)
Del 12 al 16 de agosto de 2024, en San Luis (EE. UU.)
Día 1
MVL se escapa primero y luego gana dos partidas consecutivas
El ingenio que tiene, le sirvió a Maxime Vachier-Lagrave la tomar el mando en solitario tras 3 rondas de ajedrez rápido en el torneo Saint Louis Rapid & Blitz. El GM francés primero logró unas tablas contra Hikaru Nakamura y luego se anotó dos victorias consecutivas contra R Praggnanandhaa y Nodirbek Abdusattorov para terminar la faena del día con una puntuación de 5/6 (las victorias otorgan 2 puntos en la sección de rápidas del Grand Chess Tour).
En la primera ronda, Nakamura no consiguió abrirse paso con el peón, lo cual le habría permitido tomar la iniciativa en una posición complicada. 34...Ah8
A pesar de que a Nakamura aún le quedaban un 1 y 13 segundos, mientras que MVL solo disponía de 19 segundos, Nakamura jugó 35.Tb3 rápidamente, en lugar de 35.h4, aunque 35...gxh4 no es ninguna opción, debido a 36.Axh6 - de otra manera, tal y como lo sugerieron los módulos de ajedrez, con 35...h5 las blancas obtendrían una clara ventaja tras 36.Cxg5.
It is the program of choice for anyone who loves the game and wants to know more about it. Start your personal success story with ChessBase and enjoy the game even more.
En la partida, MVL volvió a colocar su alfil en g7, y pronto se repitieron movimientos y se firmaron las paces.
Contra Pragg y Abdusattorov, dos de los juniors más fuertes del mundo, MVL se impuso tras exhibir una gran técnica en los finales.

Sharing second place are Ian Nepomniachtchi, Levon Aronian and Leinier Dominguez. The latter beat defending champion Fabiano Caruana in the second round - in an equal position, Caruana played a one-move blunder.
38.Rb1 simply leaves the e5-bishop undefended (38.Bb2, for example, keeps the balance). Dominguez played 38...Nxe5, which was followed by immediate resignation.
Before this game, Caruana had drawn with Wesley So, while in the third round of the day, he was defeated by Nakamura in a thrilling encounter. Caruana is now tied for last place with Pragg, but will get a chance to bounce back in style in Tuesday's first round, when he will play white against sole leader Vachier-Lagrave.
