Yup, Moro is sinking mightily! Although with a nutcase like him, one never knows what will follow…
some people say that Dominguez doesnt have a chance in Corus. I will have to disagree …
He’s probably the second strongest chess player Cuba has produced. Of course, he has a long way to go if he is to get to Capablanca’s level.
Define “stronger”.
If you would somehow transport Capablanca from the 1920’s to the present and match him up with Dominguez, Dominguez would win.
That would be interesting to see. Dominguez’s knowledge (because of access to chess databases and modern literature) against Capa’s brilliance and talent
Again … This is the time paradox in chess.
