Throwback Thursday: Two highlights from Leinier Dominguez’s career
Leinier Domínguez Pérez turned 37 yesterday, September 23. The Cuban-American grandmaster has been a part of the “2700+ club” since July 2008 and has stood out for his consistent play in top events throughout the years. Now we look back into two of his greatest tournament performances — his first place at the 2006 Ciutat de Barcelona event (8/9 ahead of Ivanchuk, Korneev and Bologan) and his victory at the 2013 Thessaloniki Grand Prix (8/11 ahead of Kamsky, Caruana and Grischuk). | Photo: Lennart Ootes
